It’s simple in my mind. If you take care of your employees, your employees take care of your customers. If you are spending hours trying to schedule medical appointments for your parents or if you have a special needs child, or if you are grappling with depression and just trying to fight on and do your job then those individuals are not focused on delivering their jobs. So, the connection is very strong. There is a direct correlation between employees being supported and employees performing. It’s not that there’s a compassionate environment and we’re all nice to each other and results don’t matter. I have a boss and we have financial commitments and we have consistently delivered on all of them. So, I believe not just intuitively but from a metrics perspective. I have proof that people who feel supported perform well.
