Gain insight about how to improve
employee productivity and company culture
at the same time!
Of all the challenges facing today’s small businesses, the hardest is maintaining employee productivity—an efficient use of time and resources to deliver the best possible product or service possible.
Let’s take a look at 5 ways you can increase employee productivity and improve company culture at the same time.
How Do You Use Your Time?
Invest in solutions that are designed to streamline the various processes and take the load off of more menial tasks.
1. Invest in Technology
Cloud Storage
CRM Software
Subscription and billing management solutions
Mobile Tech
Provide constructive, meaningful feedback regularly.
Feedback gives employees an idea of what they’re doing well and what could use improvement.
Feedback should always be encouraging, not discouraging. Any form of communication should be done thoughtfully, regardless of whether it’s something positive or negative.
2. Provide Helpful Feedback
Management often focuses its incentives on senior- or executive-level employees, neglecting those workers at a lower level.
Lower-level employees should be just as committed to your brand’s success as executives.
3. Incentives for All Levels
Simple incentives:
• Work-from-home days
• Casual dress days
• Trophies, plaques, and certificates
• Company merchandise
• Prime parking spots
• Gift cards
With the growing stresses and pressures of the corporate job, the need for work-life balance is as important as ever to employee health and company success.
Flexible schedules are an excellent solution, and growing technology makes telecommuting easier than ever.
Enforce work hours. Keep employees from taking work home.
4. Value Work-Life Balance
Benefits:
• boost revenue
• improve employee retention
• reduce absenteeism and
medical costs
Discuss the company’s mission, philosophy, and goals.
Always keep lines of communication open.
Recognize hard work and acknowledge each employee’s presence.
Celebrate events and achievements, from birthdays to engagements.
Don’t be afraid to have fun!
5. Improve Work CultureA happy employee is a productive
employee, but far too many offices enforce a “work only”
mentality, making the job feel like a drag.
To build a positive, encouraging work culture:
You don’t need to break the bank to boost and maintain
employee productivity. There are plenty of practical things
you can do to create an efficient, positive
environment.
Good luck!
