(GM), adsdsf, It Is Simple But Do You Have It?

Hi adsdsf,

In the world today, as a manager you are paid to perform a
number of tasks. However, you are paid to 'get things done'
and as a manager that means making your staff as productive
as possible.

How many people do you know that say they hate their job
or their boss or the environment they work in?

However, a work environment doesn't have to be dull and
oppressive.

Employees don't have to feel like they are chained to their
desks all day.

With some simple management techniques, you can enhance
employee motivation and increase your employee retention.

One of the biggest morale boosters you, as the manager,
can provide your employees is to give them a voice in
some of the company's operations.

That doesn't mean they should set the stock price or
decide on a hostile takeover. Those are decisions
correctly left to upper management and the board of
directors. However, there are little things that affect
the employees directly.

When was the last time you asked them for improvement
suggestions and ideas?

You will be amazed at the input.

In addition, after listening to them, even more importantly,
agree to implement some of their ideas. If you don't you
will make the staff even more resentful.

Managers should not try to fake this method.

Listening to your employees' input but implementing what
you had already decided will only grow resentment. After
all, employees can quickly figure out that none of their
suggestions were chosen, even though those suggestions
were the majority!

Let your employees decide their own fates every once in
a while and you will make them happier.

Show your employees that you really are listening to
them, and implement some of their ideas. Also make
sure they get the credit for the idea in the first place.

Some simple ideas raised by staff can make a huge difference.

I remember once, when a member of my staff asked if they
could ask me to provide the authorisation to purchase
goods via email rather than physically sign. The process
where I had to physically sign the authorisation was
slowing down the actual purchasing process. My role
meant that I was out of the office for several days
and I couldn't be there to authorise.

By allowing me to authorise by email meant I could do
so, when I was out of the office. I was no longer
slowing the process down.

A great simple idea, which we implemented immediately.

When ideas are this simple, you do wonder why you
hadn't implemented the change a long time ago.

A last word.....

In today's business world, a manager is paid to
perform and carry out a number of tasks.

One of which is being available for their staff.

Help remove those blockages, which stop your staff
delivering a great service. Ask your staff for their
ideas and implement some; you will see a positive
difference.
