  1. Organizations performance is completely depending over the performance of the employees. If the organization expects the employees perform well, it should make sure that the employees satisfied, motivated and committed with their employment.

  2. One of the most important factors in employee performance is achieving goals. Successful employees meet deadlines, sell and build the brand through positive customer interactions. When employees do not function effectively, the consumer feels that the company is indifferent to their needs and seeks help elsewhere.
