Staff Moral
How To Motivate Staff and
Reduce Staff Turnover
How do you maintain staff moral? Is motivating your employees something that comes naturally to you. What can you do to improve moral among your staff? Happy staff equals improved productivity. For tips on how to motivate employees, read on.
What is staff moral like within your business?
People are your business' greatest resource. As a business owner your aim should be to hire great people. Once you have done that though you then need to keep them.
The true cost of recruitment can be enormous if you are continually losing good people or getting rid of bad ones.
Ways To Motivate Employees
Many owners and managers look for ways to motivate staff. Yet by following a few basic Human Resource practices, moral and motivation would increase without the owner needing to do much else at all.
I have spent over 15 years in payroll and recruitment. I have seen first hand the uncertainty felt by employees when errors occur with;
- their pay and allowances
- employment classification
- leave balances and entitlements
- areas of responsibility
- uncertainty about their role and their future within the company
Implement an Induction Process
Most managers underestimate the negative impact that these issues can have on staff.
Your staff want to feel valued and appreciated for their work efforts. They want to feel part of your organisation. You can help to motivate your employees and improve staff moral by implementing an induction process.
An induction process takes new employees through;
- New hire paperwork
- The employment contract and/or applicable award
- The pay cycle
- Training issues and requirements
- Supervisor details
- Occupational Health & Safety
- Notication of absences
By implementing these processes within your business you will;
- look professional
- clear up any questions or concerns that your new employee may have
- be showing that you value your staff and their contribution to your business
