The Importance of Transparency in Motivating Your Employees

2/26/2020

 
There are many different ways to motivate employees. Unfortunately, there are some organizations that attempt to motivate their employees mainly through fear.

The utilization of fear is a short-sighted strategy for attaining higher levels of motivation. Even if the strategy is effective, it also leads to higher rates of employee burnout, and ultimately, higher rates of turnover. And neither of those are conducive to more productivity.

The best way to motivate employees is to inspire them. Ideally, your organization's managers should lead their employees by inspiring them to achieve continually higher levels of production. However, that leads to a question: HOW can your managers inspire the company's employees?

There are many ways in which to inspire others, including casting a compelling vision for the direction of the organization. The ultimate goal is to build trust with employees, because when you're able to build genuine trust, you're better able to inspire and motivate those employees.

And that this leads us to the crux of our blog post: transparency is a key component in the motivation of an organization's employees.

This realization produces yet another question: about which things should managers be transparent when it comes to leading and motivating their teams?

#1 - The company's values

Actually, prospective employees should know about these values before they even become employees. This would be during the hiring process. After all, if you're going to practice transparency as an organization, then you should start early.

#2 - The company's vision

Your values, of course, feed your vision, and employees want to know what they're working for. (Besides a paycheck, that is). This is where you can really start to inspire and motivate employees, thereby engaging them more effectively and increasing your rates of retention.

#3 - The company's direction

This speaks to the way in which your organization plans to achieve its vision. How will it attempt to do so? What role will your employees play in terms of the direction of the organization? If they don't know what their role is, then how can they be excited about it?

#4 - The company's strategy

This denotes the way in which the organization will head in the direction it needs in order to carry out its vision. Once again, employees are more concerned about their role in the strategy than anything else. The more information that you can share with them, the better they will feel about their employment situation.

THIS is the Type of Employee That Companies Really Like

The Importance of Being Accountable While on the Job

2/12/2020

 
Let's start with a simple truth: nobody likes excuses when things don't go the way they're supposed to go.

This is especially the case with in the professional setting, and when we say within the professional setting, we mean while you're on the job. If you're the type of person who likes to offer excuses for why things don't get done - or get done correctly - then you're going to experience problems within the world of employment.

We've addressed the topic of personal branding before in this blog. Simply put, your personal brand is the perceived experience that you give to people when you interact with them.

It's important to note that it's how the other person perceives the experience that's important. If you have an interaction with somebody, and you thought the interaction went well and that you branded yourself in a positive way, but they didn't… then you actually did NOT brand yourself positively.

And one of the best ways that you can brand yourself while on the job or in the professional setting is as somebody who is accountable and who does not make excuses for themselves.

And here are four specific benefits of doing this:

#1 - Better relationship with your co-workers

Many times in the professional setting, when somebody makes excuses, they blame their co-workers. By the simple act of NOT blaming your co-workers for things you've done (or haven't done), your relationship with them will be better.

#2 - Better relationship with your boss

This also makes sense. Your boss, of all people, does not want to hear your excuses. They want results. And if they don't get those results, then they want you to be accountable and not make excuses.

#3 - Greater chances for advancement with your employer

If you consistently brand yourself as somebody who gets results and is accountable for your performance, then you increase the chances that you can land a promotion and/or raise. That's because you've now also branded yourself as somebody who is reliable and trustworthy.

#4 - Greater chances for career success

This is the next logical step. If you make being accountable a permanent part of your personal brand and continue to consistently get results, then it will translate into success not just at your current employer, but also at future employers. And herein lies the most important reason for always being accountable while on the job.

Time Staffing's team of qualified staffing specialists offers assistance to job seekers in the light industrial and clerical fields. We prep candidates thoroughly by answering their questions and addressing their concerns.

Take, for instance, this testimonial from a job seeker who found a new job through Time Staffing:

"Everyone in the office was polite, helpful, and honest. It was a change from a previous experience I had [with another agency]."

5 Tips for More Effective Leadership within Your Organization

2/5/2020

 
Leadership is an extremely important component of the success of any organization. Ideally, leadership and management should be the same thing. That's because it's possible to be a manager, but to NOT be a leader.

With that in mind, you want all of the managers within your company to be both managers and leaders. If they're not, then you're just asking for trouble.

Below are five tips for more effective leadership within your organization:
#1 - Communicate well.

It all starts with communication. A good leader must be in the habit of communicating effectively with the members of their team. This is the foundation, so you can't skip this step and try to excel in all of the other areas. It just won't work.

#2 - Set expectations.

A good leader lets their team know what they expect. In fact, each member of the team should know exactly what is expected of them. If not, then they won't meet those expectations and they're more likely to blame their manager instead of themselves for that failure.

#3 - Secure commitments.

Just as a good leader sets expectations with their team, both individually and as a group, they also secure commitments in the same fashion. That is, they meet with the members of their team to set expectations and secure commitments for meeting those expectations, and then they meet with the team and do the same thing.

#4 - Instill accountability.

In order for individuals (and groups) to meet expectations, there must be a system for accountability in place. After all, if people are not held accountable, then they are less likely to accomplish the goals that are set before them. Ideally, your team should be comprised of workers who hold themselves accountable, but alas, that is not always the case.

#5 - Encourage and inspire.

Effective leadership starts with modeling. In other words, a good leader is a model for the members of their team. That means they do not brow-beat these employees. Instead, they're positive and they encourage the employees to reach increasingly higher levels of achievement.

Once again: managers are not always leaders, although they should be. When they are, they increase productivity and profitability, not to mention morale.

If you need temporary or direct employees for your workforce, then Time Staffing can help! We have experience identifying and screening top-notch candidates in numerous fields for a variety of employers. Our goal is help you hire the right employee at the right time to get the right results.

However, you don't have to only take our word for it. Take, for instance, this testimonial from a company that successfully found new employees through Time Staffing:
