Most companies do not understand how to motivate and utilize the talent present in their workforce. Blame the fact that managers are forced to worry about profits more than whether the staff is happy or not. The cost to refill a position is a hidden one and companies often don't realize the lasting effects. Loss of productivity, morale and reputation can take a great toll on any company (big or small.)

But many of the jobs I had didn't give enough appreciation caused me to search for another job. I would rather gain a pat on the back for a job well done, then get a raise. Happy employees gives progress to a company. Unhappy employees can distroy a company. Employers should appreciate the people that make their company productive.<br/><br/>sd I have worked several jobs in my career life and the companies that did appreicate their employees, gave me a reason to remain.

I've built special tools to make our team more efficient only to have a supervisor tell me to stop because it's not a company resource. Consequently, they will be filling my position as soon as I find another job outside the company. Yup, I work for a company like that.
