They can easily then judge the association of satisfaction and loyalty of the employees. Most of the industries make their different training programs like worker’s training, their performance appraisal system, working conditions, different rewards according to their different company’s laws and policies.</p><p>The aim of these types of rules is to get employees loyalty with the organization and make their tenure long with the organization.
