HOW TO HUMAN RESOURCES CAN IMPROVE
EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY
Managing
people is "complex". There're so many variables involved – anger,
fear, dreams, thoughts, feelings etc. Every individual employee is different.
Some can handle work well but not their emotions. While others can handle
emotions but not a pile of workload. That's the reason why people management
skill is important for every entrepreneur. If you can't handle people, you
won't be able to run even a mom-and-pop store.
With the nine
tips listed here, you'll not only be able to improve performance but also
productivity of employees. With more productivity & better performance,
business will reach new heights.
1.Implement Flexible Work Options
Business News Daily shared that a report from ManpowerGroup
Solutions states that almost 40% of the job candidates worldwide consider the
flexibility of the schedule as one of their top factors in deciding for a
career. Employees nowadays prefer work-life balance over large salaries
with complicated working schedules. The options for
flexible work are giving employees the schedule choices, letting them work from
home once a week, and allowing a 4-day working days per week provided that they work longer
hours on those four days.
2.Have a Comfortable Working
Environment
The working environment affects
the performance of the employees, and a pleasant working place causes good
productivity. Business News Daily quoted a line from a CEO that one bad
attitude affects everyone’s daily performance. This statement is true,
especially for millennials who struggle from toxicity in the workplace. By
letting go of the toxic ones, you will give a healthy and conducive
environment to good employees. A comfortable working place also makes the
employees happy, from a clean office down to comfortable chairs. An article
from UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School states that even lighting affects
productivity.
3.Invest in Employee Happiness
Happy employees stay longer in
the company, which means that there will be less hassle in hiring and adjusting
to new ones. Employees’ happiness involves excellent compensation, constant
engagement with workmates and managers through team building and company
activities, and capable team collaboration.
4.Support Creativity and
Innovation
Employees will feel valued in
the company when their ideas are being heard. Innovative approaches of the
talents will not only improve employee relations with the management
but will also have a good impact on the company’s growth and advancement.
Recognition for your creative employees will inspire them to brainstorm more
ideas for your business. How do you support the creativity and innovation
of your workforce? Inform employees you are open to any ideas for a change that
you need. This is much more manageable disseminated through email. Present
guidelines, give timelines, and provide incentives.
5.Provide the Right Tools for the
Team
When employees don’t have access
to the right tools, they will have no other choice but to use what is
available, which might cause backlogs. Investing in the right tools for the
team to utilize in completing tasks is a necessity. However, to expedite their
work and for better productivity, it is also best to invest in advanced
utilities.
6.Improve Employee Skills with
Training
Aside from the training given
after the recruitment, selection process,
and hiring process, consistent practice and constant feedback on the employees’
performance are constructive and helpful in the company’s growth. Training and development lead to less supervision,
chances of promotion, and more productivity. You can conduct your training in
person or through online means. Afterward, you may proceed to provide feedback
to the employees so that they can know their areas of improvement.
7.Introduce a reward system
By introducing a reward system,
employees will have something to look forward to. Top talents will also feel appreciated
by the company when they are acknowledged, and this will also inspire other
employees to do better. Frequent rewards include bonuses, incentives, and
profit-sharing.
8.Encourage Healthy Eating and
Physical Exercise
Everybody’s aware of famous
lines like, “health is wealth,” and “you are what you eat.” Those will always
have a place at work because of how much time people spend in the
office. By encouraging the workforce to move more by walking during short
breaks and by giving them access to healthy food, their mental and physical
health will remain in good condition.
9.Sponsor Team Building Events
Team building events such as
lunch discussions, team trips, and meetings will give employees the chance to
collaborate with the leaders of the team for their continuous improvement.
Lunch discussions are ways to ask employees how they are doing in the company,
what their challenges are, and a time for the managers to give feedback and
encouragement to the workers. Taking the team to other departments is also
helpful for the growth of the employees. They will have an idea about the
different career paths in the company through job shadowing. Team trips are a
robust way to build a bond and bring employee engagement in the
workforce. Other team-building events are the simple icebreakers in the
meetings, sponsorship for sports and fitness events, charity, and fun classes
or constructive games in the office.
In a competitive industry,
companies invest more than millions to make products and services that stand
out. What managements miss is that good productivity will always come from the
quality and quantity that the workers can give, and this only needs a checklist
of useful strategies. Without proper HR plans for
their productivity improvement, an enterprise will continuously struggle with
the difficulties of not having a long-lasting,
productive workforce that will contribute to the growth and advancement of the
business.
