A company is primarily made up of its employees. It is wise to say that employees are the greatest resource in a company.

So, it is mandatory that the employer treats all his /her employees equally in a fair manner and promotes teamwork among them,
- PROMOTES WORK-LIFE BALANCE:
Another important quality of an employer is to promote work-life balance. Gone are the days when employees were treated as mere laborers. Today, employees are slowly started to be treated as resources. While their respect and dignity have increased, it is also important to realize that everyone, including employees, has a life outside of their office. A life, for which they go to work. Life is more important than any other thing.

So, it becomes necessary for an employer to promote work-life balance by not overloading them with targets and deadlines. Every employer must realize that an employee cannot be made to work as a slave just for the welfare of the company. In that case, an employee is bound to lease that organization, which, will be a bad reputation for that company. So, it is mandatory that every employer values his/her employees, promotes work-life balance as only that will increase their reputation among the employee market and also lead to increased work efficiency of its employees.
- OPEN TO NEW IDEAS AND FEEDBACK:
Creativity and Innovation are the two most important skills that the world demands right now.

So, it is important that an employer listens to his /her employees providing some new creative and innovative ideas for the welfare of the company. Such practices must be encouraged and rewarded to motivate employees to contribute more to the development of the organization.
- REWARDS EMPLOYEES FOR THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Last but not the least, an employee feels devoted and motivated to work for the company only when his/her works are rewarded. An employee who puts his /her heart and soul into his/her work must be rewarded and promoted to further encourage his/her work and service to the organization.

This is a prime duty of an employer to reward employees so as to attract talented employees and also to motivate the existing employees for the growth and welfare of the company.
