Many businesswomen who have employees are wondering how to make them perform 100% without having to raise their income. They run into the big hurdle of having unmotivated and uninvolved employees.
In this article I am going to teach you how to eliminate this obstacle and keep your employees happy and motivated, which will mean higher income for you, which will also allow you to raise their wages. As a result of this they will be even happier and will produce more, it will be all like a wheel of success that spins non-stop.
Meet with your employees daily and weekly.
To start and maintain a motivational process with your employees, you should find a place in your schedule to meet with them daily and weekly.
Think that even if it seems like you don't have time, it's an investment. Meetings where work is organized and communication fostered will later save you time and money.
Make a weekly meeting mainly to be informed of how things are going and the problems they face. It provokes conversations between your employees in front of you, so that you can detect any resistance or conflicts between them and then be able to investigate what is happening.
It is about adopting the role of the leader-coach.
Also do a daily meeting, first thing in the morning, in which the day's work is organized.
In meetings, allow your employees to give their opinion, and cause them to give it (evaluating their comments), in order to find solutions.
Promote communication with your employees.
It is also important that you are very aware of what happens at all times with them.
It would be good if you also meet from time to time, even if it is once a month in private with each employee to be able to get to the personal and things that are not discussed in a group due to incompatibilities with other people, or because of shame.
Do to get involved, show interest in them by making them see that their ideas are important to you. Praise them for their ideas, even if they are not followed by other circumstances, and always explain the reasons why they do not draw their wrong conclusions or feel undervalued. Encourage them to give their opinion and contribute their ideas. Take care of your employees also on a personal level and show it to them.
Train them in assertiveness.
Motivate your employees without causing toxic competition.
I recommend that you create common incentives. Incentives that do not create competencies between them, but rather favor cooperation. What is intended with this is that competencies are not generated among employees, since these are not good. And almost always the first one harmed with this type of skills is your company.
How many times have you stopped giving an errand to leave another partner wrong? and all that in the end is detrimental to the company. So it is important that you do not encourage individualism.
Care about them individually, but encourage them as a group. Reward them all if you reach some goals.
Follow these strategies with your employees and you will see how productivity increases, the good atmosphere, and your employees will get involved in your company as if it were theirs.
