3 steps to a highly productive workforce

Your people are your top asset – who knows this better than you? They’re the ones who meet the business clients; they’re ones who set the deadlines and meet the deadlines; and they’re the ones who’ve made your business what it is today. Interested in getting to know the timeless 3 steps to motivate your team to perform better? I assume you’re interested.

Speak with your people often
I’ve been to businesses where the owners think a lot about their staff – but on ground, one can see a complete lack of communication between the boss and the employees. No matter how much you care for your people or want to motivate them to go further in their job roles, nothing much can be achieved if the same is not communicated, EFFECTIVELY.

Take out some time every week or at least every month to converse with your people – mail them when they do something good – go to their desks and congratulate them on their special days – and pass some smiles when they rise from their chairs to wish you good morning.

Give them some training in soft skills

You might be running a digital agency or an export house or a photography / design studio. And most of your people are experienced in their trades – be it digital marketing or web designing. But they still need to be trained in soft skills. They’re going to bond better with their clients, tackle their queries more effectively – and this directly or indirectly will impact their productivity – in a very positive way.

Make your office a fun and clean place to work in
We cannot work around garbage or filthy places. We need clean and good smelling places to sit, discuss, and work. Of course, you’ve a staff to clean the table and chairs and floors – they can only do the regular cleaning. To see the best of your office, you must, at least once, try out professional office cleaning services.

What do I mean by professional office cleaning services?
When I say professional office cleaning services, I mean office cleaning done by cleaning experts with the latest of cleaning gadgets. There’re several companies out there in the market that offer affordable yet highly professional office cleaning services.

They’ll clean those hard-to-reach areas in the corners and under your furniture – they’ll sanitize your pantry/kitchen as well as washrooms. And they might also offer you discounts if you opt for their services in the future.
