Employees determine a company’s culture and values. Happy and bonded employees generally create a fun company culture, which ultimately reduces turnover rate and improves productivity. But how do you keep your employees happy and productive? Here are a few ways how!
1. Have Team Building Events
The first step to making your employees happy is for them to know about each other outside of work through team building events such as Archery Tag Singapore. It’s always better to know more about your own team first so that everyone becomes more comfortable with each other. It’ll definitely improve communication and increase efficiency!
2. Always show gratitude
If your employee has helped you out in any way, whether big or small, always remember to thank them for their contribution and help. Everyone likes to feel appreciated, and a simple “Thank you” is able to brighten up someone’s day and keep them happy.
3. Rectify miscommunication
Miscommunication is the number one problem in many offices, which causes much unhappiness. Information might be passed on wrongly, or even lost which can bring problems to work. Always make sure that communication in the office is efficient and identify the key barriers that might hinder communication.
4. Make employees involved
For certain projects, you can always ask your employees for their opinions and perspectives. New opinions might be able to bring about a different perspective and make your project a success!
5. Productive atmospheres
A dirty and messy office environment not only affects your employees’ productivity, but is also a breeding place for diseases and illnesses. Having crowded and cluttered areas in the office brings about a negative vibe. Always keep the office neat and tidy to maximise productivity. You can also add some plants or flowers to the office to make the office brighter.
6. Good leaders
Having a good leader changes the game in many offices. Often a time, leaders are very harsh and blame their employees for minor issues. Always set clear expectations for your employees, give clear deadlines, and who to submit the completed work to, to ensure efficiency.
Employees also appreciate a good leader who do not push responsibilities and blame to their team just to have a ‘clean’ record. A good leader always takes one for the team.
