Even though the workplace has become technical and filled with computers, software and operating systems, managers must keep in mind the human factor if they expect to get the best work from their employees. There following are a few tips that any manager can follow to ensure they are getting the most from their workers.
In today’s increasingly digital society, most of the human interaction is missing from business today. This is not always a good thing as rapport, trust, and employee relationships are all based upon face-to-face interaction. These things are all just as important to a business’ success as productivity, streamlining, and future profits.
One successful method of getting quality work from employees is to properly train them. Without training that is detailed and informative, employees may become confused. Confused employees cannot work to their full potential because they are never sure if they are doing the right thing. This can be extremely frustrating for workers, especially if they are qualified to do the job they were hired to do and have worked hard to reach the level of work they are currently enjoying. If they are unsure if they are doing the job correctly, they realize it reflects badly on them and on the company they are working for. This leads to increased employee turnover rates and decreased productivity for the business. Once you have good employees who want to work for you, it is important to do everything you can to keep them around, as a business’ best asset is its workforce. Without employees who know how to quickly and efficiently do their jobs, there will be no products to sell or customer service.
Another method for quality management success is to have an open-door policy and an open-door mind. Leaders lead by example, showing their employees how to listen, how to speak effectively, and how to stay organized in their work. Managers must listen to the concerns of the employees and address those concerns in a way that satisfies the employee. Employees should never be confused about their role in the company and what it is they are there to accomplish. It also lets the employee know that they are valued and appreciated for what they do. When managers show employees respect by listening to them, they are instilling trust in the relationship.
Do not let yourself stubbornly use the same tactics with each employee, thinking this will motivate and encourage them to do their work. All people are different, with different work ethics and elements about their life that are important to them. One person may believe that a specific reward given by the company in return for hard work is not worth enough to them. Others may see that same benefit as the best reward they could be given. Management must tailor motivation and incentives to match the employees’ needs or desires and the culture of the company. Some incentives should be created on a company-wide basis, while other incentives will only work on an individual basis.
