How to Manage Employee Commitment

I’m always on the hunt for relevant info and I loved this - one of the best articles I’ve seen on this topic for a while. Here are a few paragraphs as a taster...

Here are 6 Tips to manage employee commitment: 

1. Develop expectations and indicators for all supervisors and employees. 
2. Managers can build regular opportunities into their calendar to see for themselves what is happening, and talk directly with employees doing the job about what’s going well and what may be causing frustration. Act with follow-up to help eliminate the causes of their frustration. 
3. If people are underperforming, and you witness the behaviour, go to them and ask “Do you have a problem that I can help you with?” 
4. Periodically visit every part of the operation under your direction, talk and listen to the employees, observe effort and working conditions. 
5. Periodically inspect the final output of productivity, and elicit feedback from employees on areas that can be improved. Say “How might we find a better result”. 
6. Recognize negative behaviours verbally with “This is not satisfactory, how quickly can you correct it”, and always follow up on those situations to ensure their prompt correction. 

Pretty valuable stuff, I’m sure you’ll agree! Why not check out the whole article here and share your thoughts with me afterwards: call (0407) 743-276 or email me at [email protected].
