A 7 Step System For Rectifying Poor Employee...
1 Look at Clarity of Expectations Does the employee know exactly what you expect. Before you answer "of course", ask yourself this question: "When was the last time I sat down with this employee and explained, in depth, exactly the results I expected and exactly what role I expected the employee to play in achieving these results?" Incidentally, "He already knows that" isn't an acceptable answer. 2 Look At Your Systems Do your systems support entirely what you say you expect. Are they easy to work with. Are there delays and disruptions because your systems are cumbersome. Is it crystal clear to employees what your systems exist to achieve. In my experience at least 50% of all "employee problems" are...
Employee Performance Discussions – 4 Ways to...
Sometimes you have to talk to employees about what they say as well as what they do or don’t do. When that happens, you want to keep the focus on “work” and not be sidetracked by value judgments or personal perspectives. You can do that by talking about the negative or positive impact on work. Consider these four examples: 1. Communicating: Sometimes you have to talk to employees about how they talk. This might include using profanity, talking loudly, or discussing off-limit topics (e.g. politics). Inappropriate communication can cause disruptions in workflow, productivity, and quality. During your discussion, emphasize “how” the communication negatively impact workloads. 2. Not Doing Work...
Are There Effective Ways of Optimizing Employee...
Optimizing Employee Loyalty and Performance Given the competitive pressures in the marketplace, changing dynamics, downsizing, restructuring and other challenges in these difficult economic times, how can you raise the performance of your employees to meet these challenges?? Let's face it, when a company has lost sales, laid off significant employees, frozen wages, etc morale can be very low and can negatively impact motivation and engagement levels. Many companies, however, feel now is not the time to consider recognition strategies or these types of expenditures! Yet the abundant research and studies available proves that companies with strong programs, policies and strategies in place designed to...
When people start a new job, they generally want to give their best. They are excited at the prospect of meeting new colleagues and learning new skills. They want to make a difference and they want to feel appreciated for that. Yet so often, employee expectations aren't met. And within a short space of time, they start to feel unfulfilled, unhappy and may even start to look elsewhere. As a manager, it is your responsibility to protect that enthusiasm and desire to do a good job in both new and existing employees. Here are three steps to managing performance so that your employees stay enthused for years to come. Step 1: Create Learning and Development Paths for Each Employee When an employee...
Employee Performance Planning and Review Process
There are many advantages to both supervisors and employees in having an effective performance planning and review process. The process should identify clearly what is expected of the employee, which in turn provides the opportunity to recognize good performance and identify areas that need corrective action or added training. Four areas that must be identified in a performance plan are: 1. Job responsibility - what has to be done? 2. Performance measure - how will this be checked or measured? 3. Performance standard - how well must it be done? 4. Target date - when will it be checked? When building a performance plan, you would obtain information in these areas from the job description and you...
Does The Work Environment You Provide Affect...
The environment that people are required to work in can have a significant impact on their ability to undertake the tasks that they have been asked to do. This can affect productivity and employee health and well-being. The key factors fall into two categories, those that are driven by procedures, protocols and management requirements and the factors that arise from premises, office or factory design. Management driven factors include the development of:oOrganisation plans such as the allocation of responsibilities at all levels of the organisation, definition of job descriptions and the degree of access to the management and administrative support needed to complete their tasks;oWorking patterns...
Improve Employee Performance by Emphasizing the...
When it comes to performance, what one employee does (or does not do) can negatively impact the performance of other employees. Think about the employee who does not submit information on time to a coworker who needs it to complete a critical report. Think about the employee who fails to schedule the training room for a coworker who must conduct a training class. You can probably think of numerous similar situations you have encountered in the past or are encountering now. So why not use what you know about “how one employee’s performance impacts other employees” to encourage better performance? How? When you talk about performance problems, talk about the impact on the “work” that others...
How Much Does Employee Morale Affect Employee...
"Employee X" wrote an eye opening article in the January '09 Entrepreneur Magazine, titled "Why I Finally Quit." Employee X, wishing to remain anonymous, is "a bright, 28 year old employee with a degree from a top university and a ton of high-level computer experience [who chose to] bail on the Company he really believed in." He was willing to accept a salary "$20,000 below market rate with pretty pathetic benefits while working up to 60 hours a week in a high stress environment." Why He Took the Job 1. He was part of a team that would create a revolutionary product. 2. Had strong incentives to help the Company achieve success with a Stock Option Plan. Why He Left the Job 1. Owners hired new...
Motivation is a huge value to create in the employees who work with you and when it's in place, a momentum develops where almost anything is possible. The focus for creating motivated employees needs to start from a humble place. It's not possible to build motivation when there are gaps in the core expectations of your people. While many managers do a great job to set employee standards, there are pitfalls in assuming that what your people expect as basic requirements. Indeed many managers think they are delivering what their people want, simply because nothing is said that would make them think differently. This raises a challenging issue for managers. How do they really know that their people are...
Employee Motivation Checklist - Ten Measures of...
In the form of a simple easy to use checklist, you can score how well you are doing out of 10. Better still, ask them. It's like what they describe as a mini-360o, where your people get the chance to give you feedback. Only here it is a lot easier and far far cheaper! But then it's how you handle the results of feedback that counts the most. Scoring gives you focus and a better way of moving forward than some nebulous measure like 'Good' or even 'Excellent'. And that measuring is what can and will prompt you to make the effort to move up a notch or two. Your own 'motivation' will require you to have the same conditions delivered well by your boss, so there is the opportunity to give upwards feedback...
Employee Motivation Strategies
When people think of honoring employees for jobs well done, they may typically think of monetary rewards. However, these may be neither necessary nor the best type of reward. Once offered, cash bonuses can come to be expected and quickly forgotten, especially if they are the only recognition employees receive. By contrast, frequent, positive feedback provided within an enjoyable, team-oriented environment makes a tremendous difference in employees' sense of being valued and, as a result, their commitment to your company. With or without financial rewards, these cultural aspects of the workplace could be the smartest investment in the staff and business. Recognize and Reward High-Quality Work...
Employee Motivation - 5 Steps to Apply When...
The better a man is, the more mistakes he will make, for the more new things he will try. I would never promote to a top-level job a man who was not making mistakes ... otherwise he is sure to be mediocre. Peter Drucker, leadership expert What do you do when you make a mistake? How do you feel? How do you react when others mess up? How do you make them feel? Do you find a way to gain benefit from mistakes and prevent them from taking you and/or your organization off track? As an executive coach, I find many business owners, CEOs, and other leaders that continue to recycle employees who failed to make perfect decisions and act properly every time. On the surface you might be thinking, how big was...
Old Management Theory and Employee Motivation
The development of management theory exists on a continuum where each new insight leads to either an updated theory or a new theory. Yet as society changes we often falsely assume that older theory has no bearing in modern life. We seem to forget that these theories are based in basic human needs that don't change. What does change is the expression of those needs and how we go about fulfilling them. Reviewing old management theory is important because these older theories often are simpler and cut to the problem more quickly. They don't jumble up all the relevant information with educated ramblings. They prefer to get to the root of the matter so that great understanding can happen. The more...
Business Team Building and Employee Motivation:...
Often as I work with owners of small businesses, I find that an easy goal to achieve is the improvement their teamwork. At the base of motivating their team members, I find many business leaders make a common mistake when they think feedback is about behaviour correction rather than individual motivation. Feedback often and directly Virtually no one thinks they get enough feedback, because virtually no one gives enough. So I would encourage you to give your feedback promptly while the event is fresh in everybody's mind and any improvement lessons are clear to see. Be specific and in context Before you give feedback, I want you to provide a specific context to each of your comments: "I want to talk...
Employee Motivation: It's More Than A Paycheck
div id="body"> Managers often ask, usually with exasperation, "How can I keep my employees motivated? I pay them decently. What else is there?" Offering competitive salaries is certainly important. But a paycheck is what helps people get to sleep at night, not what gets them going in the morning. What keeps them committed to come in on the weekend or stay late or go that extra mile is more than money - it's the day-to-day 'stuff' like respect, fairness, recognition and feeling in control of their small piece of the world. Here are 10 powerful ways to gain employee's cooperation and commitment to the team, department or organization. Don't play favorites. People make judgments about what they see...
Our work culture nestles into a daily life interspersing and making it also the same. Sometimes individuals find it hard to keep their personal and professional life different. One of the instances is the clothes one wears to office. Mostly as organisations have it, formals are to be worn to work. While some have a Saturday dress down syndrome some have formals even on Saturdays. As the working professional gets immersed in work and the atmosphere, he or she gets to wearing formals anywhere and everywhere. So even on a day off, when the employee is out with family his dressing sense remains formal, this is because it is hard for him to break away from the routine code. Besides, wearing an executive...

How motivated are your employees? Are they fully engaged and passionate about their work? In challenging economic times it is natural for most people to lose some level of enthusiasm. When we cut costs and people around us lose jobs and even their homes, our desire to take on the "biggest and baddest" challenge at work can falter. But in these times, the last thing we need is lost productivity and less passion. In fact, what we really need is to raise the bar and get more productivity and creativity from our people. Can you motivate your employees to do more? There are many differing theories on the psychology of motivation but the one area where there is agreement, is that people do things for...

Employee Motivation Techniques
Motivating employees to do well at their jobs can be a tricky task, and sometimes you may find it easier to call in external help in the form of a motivational speaker. This can be a benefit to any company, but it can of course be costly too. It is always good to be able to employ some simple techniques of your own though, as these can be highly effective and save regular expenses that will be outgoings to somebody outside of your company. Instead, if you have the money to spare, then cash can be a great incentive for people and ensure they know they are being appreciated within their role. Try giving sales staff pay plus commission, so they get extra whenever they make a sale. This will help drive...
Understanding Employee Motivation
There were times when employees were considered to be another addition to enhance the production of services or goods. However, a lot has changed now. Elton Mayo conducted a research during the year 1924 and 1932 altered the way of thinking about employees. This research was known as Hawthorne Studies. According to this study, employees require much more than just money. The study introduced the human relations approach to a companyâs management. The main focus was given to the basic requirements and motivation factors of employees. The publication of the Hawthorne Study facilitated the understanding of factors that helped in motivating employees. There are several reasons that employees...
Change Management and Employee Motivation: the...
The biggest myth in the HR fraternity is that people can be motivated by others, however the case in point is that they are motivated by factors other than other people. That is a kind of organizational environment in which they feel comfortable. Leaders need to understand the motivational needs of individuals and groups. They need to work out a plan encompassing with some points that are beneficial for employees and groups, at the same time they are in line with goals and strategies of the organization. Sunil Goel, GlobalHunt India says “Developing an environment that improves employee's motivation is hard work. There is no one size fits all solution, as motivation is driven by "what's in it for...
An employer is capable of setting the mood of the staff from the moment they step through the door. If the employer arrives at the workplace looking and feeling as though the whole world is on his/her shoulders then inevitably, this will project itself on the staff and create the mood for the rest of the day. Motivation starts at the top and is the responsibility of the manager, employer, leader or whoever is in charge. In this respect your body language is the first thing to use in motivating your staff. Remember...countenance is very important! It's important also to discuss what is required with an employee so they know what is expected of them. A few words of encouragement can work wonders, but...
When setting up a mobile car wash business or an onsite mobile automotive detailing service business, you must plan for the future when you will be running multiple vehicles. You must also have in place a program to monitor the progress of your training so you can constantly be adding vehicles to keep up with the customer demands. I recommend that you use either profit sharing managers for each unit plus salary or hire independent owner operators as independent contractors. As you design this system you must consider your objectives such as, the need to; 1.) Train operator to run truck unsupervised 2.) Train operator in basic trouble-shooting 3.) Show operator how to increase productivity and profit...
In a discussion with the head of sales of a mid-sized pharmaceutical company, he wanted to know why some front-line sales managers are much better than others at hiring top performers. Before answering, I asked if he had a systematic hiring process. The reason I asked that is when there is no process in place the ability to select top-performing reps is dependent on the skills of the sales manager. Anytime you create a systematic process you tend be better at predicting success. Well, he thought about the question and then responded: “You’re right. How can we create a better hiring process?” So, with respect to that pharmaceutical exec, here are three critical steps to selecting top performing...

Performance Review Phrases to Capture Actual...
The performance review is one essential tool that when used correctly, has the power to increase the overall productivity of any company or business for that matter. Unfortunately, most companies and businesses do not utilize the potential and power of this tool in increasing their bottom line. It's either they turn in badly written reviews or they skip the process all together. This is where performance review phrases can come in useful and are something you should consider. When you know how to phrase your review, you can write a document that shows the actual performance of the employee in review. Most of the times, the document is received negatively only because the employees disagree as to how...
HR can be called the working capital of the organization. But what are the areas where Six Sigma can be applied? How would it be possible to find the 3.4 parts? The explanation for this is the implementation of Six Sigma in functions that lead to employee satisfaction. Selection of Projects When organizations decide to undertake any Six Sigma projects for the HR department, it has to be ensured that there is good return on investment. The financial perspective and customer perspective is relevant, as are internal factors to consider and the goal to achieve organizational objectives. The HR function is not just restricted to trainings and certification handling for other Six Sigma projects in other...
On the shop floor we have found some years ago that piecework incentive schemes don't work. In spite of trying very hard over a number of years, they have failed and have, quite rightly, been abolished. This is a good example of history showing us that we don't learn from history. It is totally and utterly irrational to attempt to apply the same performance incentive criteria for office workers and professionals. Think about it. If you can't accurately measure the output of a factory worker, how on earth can you measure that of an insurance claims clerk, a secretary, a receptionist, an HR specialist, an accountant or any other office based employee? Even so, performance appraisal and performance...
Staffing of a Web Development Team
Hiring the 'right number' of people to form a web team can be an extremely tricky job. Many organizations don't understand the amount of work required to keep their sites operating smoothly. The work of a web team doesn't end with the website going live; in fact the challenging part of website maintenance starts at this point. Most managers forget that websites also require a substantial maintenance staff. This leads to understaffing of the web development team. Understaffing can be fatal and can lead to lost business, reduced productivity, increased workplace risk which are far greater than the cost of hiring. So not only 'hiring the right people' but also 'hiring the number of right people' is...
Creative Staffing in the Local Church
Does your church need an additional pastor, but you can't afford to hire one--what can you do? Perhaps, like others, your church is experiencing financial difficulties because of the economic downturn. I know of one such church. They were an active congregation serving the needs of the elderly with a respite program and the needs of the young with a preschool. They were a small congregation (average worship attendance of 125). This church, located in Florida, was serving a community where people had lost their jobs, homes were being foreclosed, and fewer "snow birds" were flocking to Florida for winter. They were feeling the financial "pinch." This church had increasing needs and opportunities for...

hp job board software is a web server script that attempts to automate the working relationships between independent online employers (clients) and independent online employees (freelancers). Sometimes simply called a "script," php job site software doesn't run on an individual computer the way that typical software does. Its name is a bit misleading, but php job site software really runs on a web server rather than a desktop computer. A web server is the most appropriate environment for php job board software because it can handle millions of data requests whereas a desktop computer couldn't possibly accommodate or fulfill this volume of queries. Nor could a desktop computer accommodate the...

The bottom line reasons for motivating employees? Improve productivity, enhance loyalty, and ensure retention are some of the reasons commonly cited. What role does employee appreciation have? In a recent training seminar for Senior Managers, we asked " When was the last time your leader ( President, CEO, CFO) praised your work? The response was mixed, at best. Many, if not most, couldn't recall the last time they were praised. Those who had been recognized for their accomplishments excitedly shared their experiences and feelings of pride and self worth. Imagine, their mentor and coach had taken of their valuable time to single them out for recognition! Most times the recognition was in public. It...

Did you recently bring on a new member to the team who impressed you during the interview, had stellar references but just does not seem to be up to speed yet? Did you ad new responsibilities to someone's job and they seem overwhelmed by simple tasks? Did your superstar employee suddenly seem to have forgotten how to her job? All practices are running with lean which means every team member must be performing at their very best. If they are not, it can have a big impact on the productivity and success of the practice. Determining the causes of less than top-notch performance is always an issue for the management team. Here are some suggestions for evaluating potential problems. Do they have the...
Listen to others. Listening shows respect… that people and their ideas are important to you. When people know you're willing to listen, they will share their ideas as well as their frustrations. Listening enables you to build trust, which is essential for creating an elite, high-performance team. Clarify your expectations. Meet with individual team members and ask each to describe his or her understanding of your performance expectations (as well as behavior and activity expectations), confirm and clarify, as appropriate, to ensure that you're "on the same page" with the employee. The more people know what you expect, the better they'll be able to contribute and help the team succeed … and...
"When hiring for a position, taking into account the various interview techniques at the disposal of the average Director, Executive, HR Manager or Business Owner, we can expect that there is about a 70% chance that the person employed will be an average or good employee.

Over the years, companies have been struggling to develop a better workplace and overcome problems and obstacles that may hinder or delay them from reaching their respective organizational goals. Rampant workplace issues such as low morale employees may cause them to be inefficient in their jobs, producing far below the company-expected output thus resulting to lower profit. A bad workplace could also mean higher employee turnover rate- the ratio between the number of employees a company must replace in a given time period to the average number of total employees. Companies are very much conscious about their employee turnover rate since talent acquisition costs money. Job advertising, new hire...

I know, you are thinking "well, that wasn't much help". Start with the number of employees as a general indicator. A basic rule of "thumb" How many employees do you have? A common approach is that if you are in the manufacturing sector, or are unionized and you answer 50 or more, then you should have an HR person on staff. Beyond 50 or in knowledge or service industries, the rule of thumb is 1:100 employees. Then balance this with your answers to these five questions: Are the organization values and business strategies clearly communicated? You can't clearly communicate what you haven't articulated. This is crucial to the success of any organization. Simple but true - not knowing how you want staff...
