Small Business USA (www.SmallBusinessUS.com) talks about 7 specific areas you need to consider in your business process. Here are all seven again:
· Management Strategy
· Primary Aim
· Organizational Strategy
· Strategic Objectives
· People Strategy
· Marketing Strategy
· Systems Strategy
These 7 areas will fine tune your plan for the ultimate level of success. Today we are going to discuss your People Strategy. How you manage and motivate your team has a PROFOUND effect on your business.
You need to put together a people strategy that shows your employees how you feel about their job performance and dedication to your business. They also need to understand “why” they are doing specific tasks. This helps them to personally connect to their job which in turn leads to better production and a happier workplace.
There are a number of strategies you can use to keep it interested at “the office”:
· Performance Incentive Programs
· Contests that reward high performance
· Employee of the Month
· Performance/Holiday Bonuses
These are just a few of the ideas you can use. One of the best ways to appreciate your employees is by calling a meeting and asking them how they would like to be rewarded. Think about it for awhile and put the best strategy into play. Keep it fresh and change up the strategy you use from time to time to keep your employees guessing. Once they get used to the prize, it’s time for a whole new approach.
You need to build a community within your company. There needs to be support, appreciation and respect. The more “at home” an employee feels, the better they will perform and the higher their level of loyalty.
