So how on earth could business insurance actually help everyone be that bit more motivated in the work environment? The thing that is really important to start with is that your employees need to feel safe in the workplace or they just cant or wont do the job.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is one of the best things to follow here as it shows in level two of the hierarchy that level two is comfort which is connected to safety. If you do not have insurances that please your workers then they are going to feel unsafe which is going to leave them feeling very demotivated which could possibly show in the form of less work being completed. Having insurance in the business not only makes the people who work for it that bit happier it also promotes a better relationship between management and everyone below. There are so many companies that struggle to have the relationship that is worthwhile having between the employers and the employees. Giving out the right insurances is giving back something to the employees for all thier hard work. As well as this if you really don’t trust your own employees which lets be honest a lot of people don’t, it covers everything including theft if one of your own workers was to steal from you.
Insurance is also a great way to cover things like accidental or purpose breakage to windows as well as covering any machinery that breaks down or even computers if you are dependant on those as a business.
The thing is staff really do feel a lot better if the business is protected against everything rather than just the insurance you have to have which is of course the employers liability compulsory insurance, if you have more than this then you are not just making the employees that bit happier but protecting yourself too. If your employeers are feeling that bit more safer then that is one less worry they have which in turn makes them work harder.
Even if you are in a small factory or office getting office insurance could be the step you need in sending those employees up the hierarchy of needs.
