Employees are a Company’s Greatest Asset
The greatest asset a company has is not its financial capital, the number of buildings or locations, the amount of equipment or the services/products the company offers. The greatest asset a company possesses is its employees.
Without employees, the simple fact is, there would be no one to sell those product/services, manage the day-to-day operations or handle customers effectively.
A company’s employees are its intellectual capital. They not only bring their skills and talents; they also bring ideas and creativity to the table. Employees bring innovation, commitment and a desire to learn. They are self-motivated even before they begin working for an organization. That motivation stems from the need to provide a home, safety and food for their families and themselves as seen in Abraham Maslow’s 1943 Study, “A Theory of Human Motivation. Motivation then takes a new role in the workplace.
