Research shows most employees are disengaged from their work. What are the things an employee requires from their work to feel fulfilled? Below we’ve provided our best tips to maximize your employee’s happiness to ensure enjoyment at work:
- Clear Goals and Expectations
- Make sure your employee understands their job expectations. Reviews are important, and they should be done one on one and with the team. Do these throughout the year so that basic expectations are maintained!
- Clear Communication
- Meetings, one on ones, phone conferences, email, Skype, and texts. Learn to master these. Digital means are not the best option for negative reviews. It is important to remember to prioritize communication, especially during today’s odd climate.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Develop your employee’s skills. If an employee feels engaged they are more likely to stay at your company. Find ways to give your team the opportunity to learn new skills while working.
- Respect
- Be honest and truthful. Avoid playing power games to have the upper hand on employees. Positive reinforcement is stronger than negative. By respecting your employees they, in turn, will respect you.
- Recognition and Praise
- Recognize your employee’s progress. A small pat on the back could greatly impact anyone’s day. Find ways to boost individual and team recognition.
