There are needs of the employees more than money which is mental, physical and
emotional which have to be understood by the management this will help for the better
performance in the market. There are standards which are set by industries in the market for
themselves which have to be maintained. This leads to having a huge market share of customers
and loyalty of the customers is the strength and increases the reputation (Koor, 2019). Customers
have a huge role to play in the industry and so do the employees. Understanding the customer
needs and make the changes in the products and services accordingly but it is very important to
have an understanding of the employees as well so that the productivity is maintained. It is
completely on the employees if the changes which are being made for the customers will be
accepted by the employees or not because they are the once who will get the changes effectively
so that the products can match the needs of the customers. The productivity is on the employees
and if employees are motivated then the productivity will be good and smooth. It is on human
resource department if they will be able to control the employees are not, therefore hiring the
right employees is very essential. Firstly the human resource has to make sure that the employees

they are hiring have good motivation and a positive attitude which will help for better
productivity and high revenue (Gupta and Bhaskar, 2016).
The employees have to be trained and skilled so that they can match the standards which
can help the firm and that is going to be beneficial for the long run in the market (Wirtz and
Heracleous, 2016). There has to be good communication by the human resource department so
that if there are changes which are happening, then the employees must know them and that will
give a better direction to employees which a very important factor. The employees have a certain
expectations which the human resource, which is that they have to make sure that they are being
able to understand the employees well. The internal factors of the enterprise are maintained by
the human resource so that there is a better functioning which is going to help to be able to have
a better functioning for them. Employees need a lot of freedom which is freedom to speech
which will help the management to take better decisions by involving the employees in the
decision making. There are a lot of new ideas which can come out if the employees are involved
in the decision making and there will be some unique idea which can get a competitive
advantage (Oelberger, Fechter and McWha-Hermann, 2017).
The companies in the market have to think for the staff members as well because too
much pressure on them can make the quality of the product reduce and the productivity of the
enterprise will reduce as well which is going to affect the loyal customers. The employees have
to be motivated so that they can give their personal best so that they can have a better future in
the market (Nielsen, 2016). The teams within organisation must be given incentives and wages
from time to time and appreciated for the hard work and the extra efforts they are putting to
maintain the standards of the business. This will help in making the employees feel they are
being acknowledged and feel a part of the enterprise. Promotions should be given to the
employees who are giving their best so that they can continue to give their best and have
something to look forward for since this is a part of motivation for the employees. Otherwise can
lose on their loyal employees and skilled employees as well which will again affect the
productivity and the quality of the products and services. There are a lot of individuals who have
to be given the right wages to because of the hard work they are putting and also fair treatment
so that they can have a better respect so that they can feel important which can lead to motivation
