Loyalty Model :    

• Loyalty Model identifies the sources of financial performance as workplace culture and practices, employee and customer loyalty, and workplace performance.
• Each area in the model has been identified by management experts and research as important, all areas have been measured, and all linkages are supported by research.
• Workplace culture consists of the vision, values, and beliefs that de­fine an organization.
• Employees who accept the culture translate its value to customers; employees who ignore or reject the culture create disconnects between what the company says it provides and what the customer receives.
• Workplace practices are what employees do and how they do it. Employee loyalty, as defined by BI, means that employees:
•  Understand and commit to their organization's business goals and objectives.

• Make an active and ongoing decision to stay employed with the organization.
• Perform "above and beyond" behaviors to create value for customers.
• Modify their workplace behaviors to accommodate the demands of changing market environments.

Workplace performance:

• Workplace performance is the measure of how well products or services meet standards.
• "Workplace culture and practices help set and communicate standards. Em­ployee loyalty affects how well employees adhere to those standards.
• Based on the study, AMP views employees* satisfaction as a leading indicator of quality performance.
