Any manager — both the boss of a small company and the director of a large plant — is vitally interested in ensuring that his subordinates are not only knowledgeable, skilled, qualified, but also conscientious. In other words, so that they live in the interests of his enterprise, literally "put their soul" into the work. And, of course, they didn’t even think about such unpleasant things as trading databases, transferring orders to competitors. How to achieve employee loyalty, how to increase it?
Instruction manual
one
There are tons of methods. The most ineffective of which is to keep subordinates in fear, on the principle: "Let them hate, if only they were afraid!" Such a leader should not be surprised at the great turnover of employees, or their lack of any loyalty.
2
It is much wiser to remember the "carrot and stick" method. That is, showing reasonable rigor and exactingness to employees, do not forget about incentives and creating a welcoming atmosphere at work. For example, if a newcomer who came to the company was immediately met with unkindness, if he was scolded for any mistake, then what kind of good faith and loyalty can be expected from him?
3
And vice versa, if they help him in a delicate, unobtrusive way to settle in a new place, if they set clear and understandable tasks, providing assistance if necessary, then the newcomer will do his best to justify his trust and gain a foothold in such a team.
4
It is very important that employees develop a spirit of "corporate solidarity." That is, that any person working for the company, feel that they are doing a common and necessary thing. For this, it is necessary from time to time to “erase the framework” between employees at different levels. Joint corporate events, parties, camping trips are very useful.
5
If people see that the “strict boss” is such only out of official necessity, and in everyday life he is the most ordinary person, with his strengths and weaknesses, he is by no means arrogant, this will help establish a good, supportive atmosphere in the service.

The leader also needs to remember that in Russia for a very long time the "paternalistic" model of behavior was considered the only correct one. That is, any boss was perceived as a father, strict, but fair, to whom you can always come up with your problem and complaint. This habit sometimes interferes with work and annoys, but employees should not be completely weaned from it. Sometimes you can listen to their complaints, and advise something, and even help. Believe me, this also effectively increases loyalty!
