So how on earth could business insurance actually help everyone be that bit more motivated in the work environment? One of the first things to say is that if an employee does not feel safe then it is almost certain they will not be doing thier job to the best of thier ability.
In Maslow’s hierarchy of needs which I’m sure many business owners will recognise level two is comfort which is written down in the form of safety. So if you were to think a bout the situation not having the right insurance is stopping your workers from feeling safe which in turn is going to stop them from progressing any further than level two which really is not what you want to happen. 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. A lot of companies really struggle to have a good relationship between the top and bottom of the business. Having all the right insurances is giving back something to the workers for all of the hard work they carry out. 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 can also cover things like breakage to glass and windows or if you are heavily dependant on computers or machinery you can get cover on this too.
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. one thing that is difficult to achieve is happiness within the workplace and making your employees feel safe is a step towards this.
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.
