Tips & advice to help you improve your performance
There are insurmountable benefits to coaching your employees at the workplace.
However, there is only one of you and many of them, which makes it nearly impossible to pass on everything that you know to your staff.
If you have impending appraisals with your team, the time to start planning is now.
Once the workers are in your office, it’s too late to prepare for a productive appraisal.
Incoming employees, departing bosses, new software, company merges, new initiatives… these are all changes in a company that cause both employees and processes to go through transitions.
These changes can lead to stress, a host of unknowns and chaos to break out in the workplace.
Making a decision can be hard enough when it comes to yourself, but double as difficult when it comes to decisions that affect other people.
However, a big part of a manager’s job description is doing just that.
As a manager, your employees’ wins are your wins, but also, their fails are also your fails.
It can be extremely frustrating when your employee makes a mistake, especially if you feel that they should have known better.
Whether you manage a small or a large team, a conflict between your employees can derail the productivity of your entire department.
Although you expect your employees to be grown adults and manage their issues on their own, there are times when it is advantageous for a leader to step in and handle the situation.
Excellent communication in the office is imperative.
What you say (and what you don’t say) to your employees greatly influences the corporate culture, their satisfaction with work, productivity levels and loyalty to the company.
There is a big difference between how employers and employees see change.
Managers tend to view change in a positive light, understanding that it’s necessary to grow and diversify the business and stay competitive.
