Dear
Friends,
Here is your latest
injection of passionate
business wisdom.
At the end of the day, your
great asset is not your
stock, not your buildings,
not your location, it’s your
people.
Invest in them and they will
invest in you.
Until next time have a great
week

 We
focus so much on developing products, services, systems and policies
that we can often forget about developing our employees and meeting the
basics of their needs and wants.
Some valuable
information has been collated for you on how your employees can be the
people power that you require to continue your business’s success.
Understanding your Employees
It has been found that
employees will take more interest in their work when they are encouraged
and are able to share their ideas and contributions and can see them
implemented.
Ideally, your
employees just want and need:
-
To be rewarded
for a job well done.
-
Feel involved
with the business.
-
Feel that
their contribution is valued.
-
Work on tasks
that complement their intelligence and fulfil their potential.
Peak Performers
Give your employees
encouragement and direction whenever it is needed, but allow them to
have control and carry out their work as they see fit. You employed them
for a reason and it is usually due to their capabilities, so let them do
what they need to do!
Ensure you have
clear and established
goals and objectives
that your employees understand and you will be able to ensure your
employees will work to their potential.
