Improving Employee Confidence

Whatever the size of your company, a crucial element in your success lays on your employees’ performance. By time workers can loose their motivation, creativity and ambition to reach higher goals, therefore it is up to you and your company’s environment to spark up their inner energy and improve their confidence in such a way so as to heighten overall productivity.

The first thing to do is to build a solid foundation for your employees, a place where all rules and expectations are clear to everyone and no employee would be treated differently. All employees make up an important part of the company and that their performance will determine whether the company will advance or not. Promote an office atmosphere where all employees are treated equally and that you are always available whenever they need.

Another important element is to recognize each worker’s potential and work on placing the appropriate worker in his/her ideal path. There is nothing worse than a worker forced to perform a task for which he/she are not trained for. On this note, offer training options to all the employees to help them develop and advance in their career plan.

Creating incentives for employees to perform well, such as a “Worker of the Month” award or achievement certificates will also improve employee confidence. This will trigger overall appreciation and will go far in motivating employees.

Make it a point to always honor your promises. If you offer incentives make sure you deliver what you offer. Employees who have given their very best to reach a certain goal must be given the promised reward if you wish to have their trust and loyalty.

Lastly, but certainly not the least important, is to have fun. Take the time to put work aside and gather all employees for a special lunch or activity. Surprise them by giving an unexpected day off or an early Friday close-down.
