LOYALTY: faithful to a cause, ideal or custom; the binding of a person to something to which he or she is loyal.
Loyalty is created by organizations that facilitate an environment where individuals within and outside of the organization believe in the mission (purpose), share the values the organization adopts to achieve that mission, and that the leadership is capable of leading, especially in a time of rapid social change.
Loyalty is developed through consistent interpersonal interaction: individual communications and interactions, internal operational cultures and the way employees are treated. Every form of communication, both external and internal, and decision-making competency are taken into consideration when we, as human beings, decide to be loyal to an person or organization.
Let us help you create communities of highly skilled communicators.
