Employees as Assets in the Organization
Cleomae Pera • December 20, 2022

         Employees are our most valued customers since they can provide important information regarding the overall customer experience. However, they are generally ignored or ignored, and most organizations do not consider them to be valuable assets, either in terms of providing insights into the customer experience or as endorsers. 

         Companies that consider their employees as significant assets and foster their skills have a better chance of success. Making people feel valued and developing their abilities allows them to reach their full potential. Employees who sense their businesses recognize their worth are more engaged, productive, and loyal. Employees promote your company and decide its success or failure. Because the job they perform influences what consumers and partners view, you must treat your staff with the respect they deserve. Employees that run a company may be physically replaceable, but their skill sets and expertise cannot. This is because each individual employed brings a unique collection of abilities to the table, even though the position requires the same set of skills.

As they are the most valuable asset for every organization, from small startups to global empires.
Here are reasons why employees or workers are an organization's most valuable asset:

1. Employees fill gaps in knowledge and skills. Business leaders hire workers who complement their expertise and talents. This personnel is capable of performing duties that are beyond the skills of the supervisor. They may also share their experience and abilities with new employees, increasing the company's common understanding.

2. Employees are essential to provide and delivering goods or services. An organization's top priority is to improve staff efficiency and performance. Employees create the final product, manage funds, advertise your company, and keep records for decision-making. They assist in connecting clients to the goods or services that businesses produce. Some people create, manufacture, and test items to ensure that they satisfy their company's high standards. Others connect with consumers by answering inquiries, selling items, or providing services with a focus on customer service. Others collect and process payments to improve the profitability of their business. Employees who are involved in buying choices influence the customer experience. They determine whether customers share great evaluations with friends and family and return to a firm.

3. Employees are the organization’s public face. When interacting with a firm, customers connect with staff. They see employees' faces in stores and commercials, hear their voices on customer service lines, and read their social media postings. These contacts impact how the general public perceives businesses. If a consumer receives a defective product, for example, customer service personnel resolving the issue may convert a poor experience into a favorable one. Customers instinctively connect with individuals rather than corporate entities, thus humanizing a company via its workers is critical for developing customer interactions. A company's workers' personal touch fosters trust and brand loyalty. Moreover, it is your employees' degree of satisfaction that is most important. As a result, if an employee is unhappy, she may spread unfavorable words about the firm even after she leaves. Furthermore, a dissatisfied employee will lack drive and work poorly, resulting in subpar performance. This leads to unattainable performance goals, low earnings, and staff attrition.

4. Employees contribute significantly to the organization’s profits and worth. Dedicated personnel assists firms in increasing profits by increasing sales and decreasing operating expenses. Employees create items and services, market them, and sell them to customers. A casual consumer can be converted into a regular client through quality control efforts and polite customer service. Employees frequently discover cost-cutting options that might increase revenues.

5. Employees encourage innovation. They frequently offer new ideas and talents that might help energize a stale firm. They create new goods and services and improve corporate processes. Creating new products and services assists organizations in remaining relevant and appealing to changing consumer demands and desires. This is especially critical for companies in fast-changing areas like fashion and technology. Improving operational procedures allows organizations to become more efficient while also saving money. Employees attain new goals, fulfill client wants and desires, create creative and innovative goods, and make large and 
massive efforts to achieve the company's goals.

6. Employees are the foundation of a strong and long-lasting organization. They assist firms in growing and surviving. People that establish a business require personnel to help them raise their workload capacity and expand their operations to other places. When firm founders decide to explore a new endeavor or retire, they rely on their staff to carry on their legacy and keep their business running smoothly in their absence. Employees, at whatever level, manage the organization. This implies that their strength, devotion, and dedication, as well as their emotional connection to the organization, cannot be measured in monetary terms.

7. Employees are unique. One of the most valuable qualities a person owns is their uniqueness. Because of this, each employee is irreplaceable, unlike most firm assets. Businesses that lose clients can find new ones to spend money on, a supplier's products may be swapped with rivals' products, and lost revenues can be regained. Each employee, however, offers a unique set of talents, expertise, and personality to the workplace. This combination has a somewhat different influence on a firm. While companies may fill open roles and educate new employees, the individual components of each person is hard to recreate.
