How to improve employee development

That said…

We have separated 9 tips that you can use to improve the performance of your employees:

• Meet your collaborators: Working with different personalities is a challenge, so understanding who is part of the team and their strengths and weaknesses is one of the first steps to understanding what can be enriched. Also seek to know about their dreams and stories, to stay close and perhaps help them on their journeys.

• Treat them the same way: This will cause the feeling of competition to decrease and the feeling of respect in the environment to increase. Equal management without distinction makes all work valued and gives the feeling that everyone can shine.

• Encourage them with interesting activities: Encouraging unusual tasks occasionally will be a challenge that, if well designed, will explore employees' capabilities and limits, making them achieve goals they could barely imagine.

• Implement a feedback culture: Knowing how to offer pertinent criticism is a quality, and knowing how to listen is even more so. A well-aligned team is also the result of listening to what colleagues have to say, and not taking it personally: understanding that everyone on the team wants the collective, not the individual, is a great way to learn to reflect on the criticisms made . Even more so if the manager in question is also open to these comments, as he will set an example of what he preaches.

• Offer a good infrastructure: After all, to expect the best from your employees, they need to have at least great equipment and comfort to perform their duties with excellence. From computers, to chairs, air conditioning…

• Take recognition actions: The cliché “employee of the month” is a very suggestive example for this topic. However, be careful that the plan does not backfire and you cause a environment of unhealthy competition, prepare them to recognize each other, and encourage empathy at work through your Communication channels.

• Think about benefits beyond the mandatory ones: gym allowance, dental plan, education allowance, all of these are examples that, if they fit into the company's budget, will further motivate employees to give their best in their performances.

• Always remind them to rest: encouraging leisure, taking breaks, using breaks correctly…. These types of attitudes denote a humanized relationship, where you care more about the employee's well-being than about their deliveries.

• Invest in good Internal Communication: This sector concerns all the previous tips. Ultimately, with good CI, most issues within a corporate environment are resolved or at least organized.
