"2. Value your employees' whole being.
I have found that leaders of the best organizations value the whole person -- their emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual well-being -- to achieve outstanding business outcomes.

However, if managers are not trained to understand how to recognize and respond to these needs, it can negatively impact employee engagement."
