Emerson states, "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." Most of the issues stem from the enthusiasm productivity of workers. Individuals work simply because they hate their employer, the monotony, and products. There is no passion or pride.
Much of this problem is due to issues within on organizational culture. We find that the issues affecting the organization's morale and productivity are:
– Leadership serves not copy – some of leaders today are narcissists, demeaning and ruthful. More importantly, pay higher wages to 425 times the average workload. Leaders must align with and treat all employees equally. Avatars with McDonald's, FedEx and UPS where employees and managers of one.
– Little or no accountability – U.S. economic system is in financial crisis and nobody is responsible. Employees should know that mistakes count for learning but criminals be punished for violations.
– Career planning and succession planning is zero – it is simply no succession planning. Most managers and CEOs from competitive industries and enterprises. Whatever happens to higher mail routing?
– Conflict between departments – When the fighting ended and understand why an employee can be smooth arrives.
– Too many silos – Companies are in business for one reason: to create customers. End the fighting and focus on the most important assets!
Causes of the correlation between morality also return to the organization, its culture and management. After 25 years of research in this area, there are five factors that contribute to the morale of the organization. A study by the Corporate Leadership Council reveals managers have impact on the level of employee commitment. It is imperative to note that people do not stop companies they leave bad managers. The management of the organization contributes to negative morale. As recently as 2006, the Gallup Organization estimates there are 32 million active Disengaged employees cost the U.S. economy up to $ 350 a year in lost productivity. This loss includes absenteeism, punctuality and working poor.
Help dilute the productivity issue, research shows that taking the time to establish relationships with employees through personal interaction is a step key managers can take to maintain morale. Employees need to feel trust and respect of managers. Feedback employees desire to build relations management to understand their job is important.
Order to remedy the moral problem is not easy, but there.
1. It starts with talent acquisition – Start with good people. No firm we work with ever hires proactively. Most companies make job searches or reactively. The search for employees corresponding to the organizational culture and skills required. Do not wait!
2. Skill Up – Talent is innate. Organizations hire the personality and behavior of the first second and competition. The skills are not interchangeable, behavior is. A large car could have a wonderful temperament and lack the skills necessary to connect a plug into an electrical outlet. I remember a fire star seeks advice to correct defects cleaning. After five minutes, was quite easy to dismiss staff and find fault.
3. See the best practices of the best people – Management for repair can not more than improve these skills. Avatars exist in your organization. Discover what they do well and be inspired.
4. Passion – In the 1980s, Sylvester Stallone appeared again as Rocky this time with a theme, "Eye of the Tiger". What a great metaphor for the valuable talent. Trying to acquire talent that loves real work. Passion is also innate. Employees must love what they do and how. Also, organization managers, employees vehemently should focus on the client. When passion is too great for morale. Remember Winnie Winnie the Pooh, trying to find the staff Eyeore Disney, Southwest Airlines and FedEx, all intensely focus on serving customers.
Finally, management should focus on areas vital to the success of the improved morale and productivity. Managers must continually strive to provide employees. Feedback is not an annual performance evaluation. It is imperative daily communication that is for good information and improvement. Coaching, coaching and mentoring are components of the morale of the organization. In addition, many go to church and hear these words: "It's fair to give thanks and praise." Many coaches and sports watches View pampered professional athletes. We can learn something here just words of thanks and praise constantly improve morale and employee relations. Finally, the first element ends in the economy is volatile training. Research shows that employees are active and require treatment. Never stop training, which improves productivity and morale at any time.
The issues of morale and productivity are onerous, volatile and difficult to control. There is a need for management, organization and person who helps with the factors of success. Much depends on the willingness to change, the methods chosen and consistent follow-up. However, if you do nothing, you still have a moral problem. Take the time to look for resources, and maintain morale. This done, the reduced wear, improves productivity, increases profitability and most importantly, reduces stress.
