Smile Guide: Employee Perspectives on Culture, Loyalty, and Profit

Employee loyalty drives customer satisfaction, which in turn drives profit: this is the key to success for Spiegelman. Put simply, what he calls this Circle of Growth™ philosophy states that if you focus first and foremost on your employees, you will gain their loyalty. Employee loyalty leads to customer loyalty. Loyal customers drive profit into your business. Then you take that profit, give your employees better tools and resources to do their jobs, and the cycle continues.
