Loyalty Turned Valued Employee: We Talk To Workers Who Have Climbed The Corporate Ladder

GLASGOW, UNITED KINGDOM - OCTOBER 10:  A city office employee works into the night as darkness closes in on October 10, 2005 in Glasgow, Scotland. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), or winter depression, is a mood disorder related to the change in the seasons and the resulting reduction of exposure to daylight.  The end of British Summer time, when clocks go back one hour at the end of October, will see most people making their daily commute in darkness both ways.  With winter nights stretching to 19 hours in the UK, and Scotland's often inclement weather, it is estimated that the "Winter Blues" can affect up to 20% of the population.

Loyalty Turned Valued Employee: We Talk To Workers Who Have Climbed The Corporate Ladder

As an economic downturn hurts folks across the United States, one of the most important things for workers is stability. According to a study done by the Society for Human Resource Management, most employees are prioritizing their compensation, job security and opportunity to use their skills.

This also comes at a time where 40% of employees are reporting that career advancements within their current organizations are very important to their job satisfaction. Investing in employees makes the search for leadership and management roles a lot easier according to Brandman University, citing familiarity as an important factor for businesses. The organization noted that promotions have also been found to increase employee retainment and motivation.
