Low turnover and high customer loyalty both helped make organizations more profitable. This study also found some evidence for what might be called a virtuous cycle: having satisfied employees tends to improve subsequent financial performance, which tends to improve later employee satisfaction even further. No organization can be all things to all employees, but this study does suggest that attention to improving
