HR Management

“A company is as good as good its employees”

“A company is identified and measured by its employee’s quality”

“A company is nothing but a group of people, working together”

“Hiring a good manpower & making a good team is the key to success for any company”

If you are agree with above points, then why most of employers don’t pay much attention to their employee’s needs, to their growth, to their emotions. Creating a good team is very difficult but loosing it is very easy. As I worked as an employee and a company owner also, I noted some points in my career which can improve employee’s retention, can improve employee’s productivity and give motivation to an employee. You must remember everyone is different and what motivate one person may not motivate others.

• “Thank you”, “Well done”, “Good show”, “Keep it up”, are the most important words any employee love to listen from his superior or employer
• Listen to your employees carefully and pay attention to their problems/ suggestions sincerely
• Involve employees in decisions that directly affect them. They have a need to belong, make them feel like they are an important part of your business.
• Praise your employee for every big or small achievement; this makes them feel valuable and valued.
• Create a core team for all important decisions in your company
• Make your employees part of your business, give percentage of profit to your core team
• Arrange discount coupons, movie tickets, restaurant passes, sports event passes and give it to your employees on every single goal/ target achievement
• Your employees are equally partner in your success, respect them
• Walk your talk, lead by example: do what you say you are going to do and keep all your promises.
• Show employee the growth path in your company
• Create a playful environment
• Regular reviews gives opportunity to an employee, to interact with their seniors
• Provide trainings for employees; offer them opportunity to improve themselves.
• Don’t shy in giving Credit to the appropriate employee/ team for achieving any goal.
• When delegate any work, delegate completely, keep watch from distance, don’t interfere, take review on regular basis
• Ask your employee what non-monetary rewards they would like to have and if possible provide them
• Meet your key employees on regular basis
• Meet your all employees in a get-together on quarterly basis, have lunch with them and let them know what is going on in the company.
• Don’t evaluate all your employees only on their monitory achievement
• Offer rewards for good ideas, if any idea provide monitory benefit to company, give a share to employee also
• Be sympathetic to personal problems of your employees
• Remember Birthdays, Marriage Anniversary of your employees. A Greeting Card can do wonders.
• Praise/ encourage your employees in front of other employees
• Don’t hire those employees who wants only pay hike
• Don’t let go any employee, try to find out why he/ she is putting papers

Believe me, a transparent environment of trust, respect, faith and mutual understanding can do wonders and you can retain your good team for long.
