Author: admin | Filed under: Employee Satisfaction, Employers | Tags: Employee Satisfaction, Employers, employment | No Comments »It’s not difficult to recognize the good effort and performance of your employees. It’s just a matter of taking the time and effort to do it, and being unambiguous in communicating the link between performance and rewards. By linking a direct performance to reward has always been effective the employer (manager) and employee relationship. When employee receives appreciation, the desire to reciprocate comes into action with a continued higher performance.
However, when employees are not being recognized of their performance, they started to drift away and may under perform in the long run. The worst thing is employees tender their resignation in display of the lack of appreciation at work (and your leadership). As such, employers (managers) should always be sensitive to their needs. Remember, they are your arms that you need to get work delivered. Employers should also be able to align the expectation of reward and performance consistently to their employees.
To be able to keep your employees and continue to work for you (happily) with continued performance, you must have the basic four MUST-Dos for your employees:
- Align rewards and performance! – This is to be done explicitly and clearly. Do not give them an airy fairy links of rewards and performance. Give them realistic and clear indication of how their performance is linked to their rewards. Of course, there is a need to be flexibility. Draw the scope of work and reward boundaries but do not limit their ability to excel.
- Be attentive! – Show you are always willing to listen to them. Open the doors of your office. Allow them to come in for a discussion about their concerns. If you have the time, take a walk and hang around at the pantry. Talk to them there (a place they are comfortable at). Allow yourself to know them more instead of being the every so high and unapproachable authority.
- Be receptive! – Show you are always willing to acknowledge their concerns and the value of what you hear. Having an open door concept is not good enough with your ears and heart shut. Your ears and heart must be opened too. Empathetic listening. Allow them to finish what they say and not interrupt them. Most importantly, is not rejecting their views.
- Be responsive! – Show you are always willing to take action. After talking and listening and understanding their concerns. It’s time to take action. Being able to understand their concern is not enough for them. You need to be decisive. Of course, you need to be Mr. Nice Guy and respond all the concerns without putting a thought to it. You have the right to reject their concerns if you deemed it unreasonable or unrealistic.
