5 Factors That Will Make Your Employees’ Jobs Easier

May 18, 2016   OnContact

As a business manager, you always want your employees to be satisfied with their work; you also want them to do tasks as easy and efficiently as possible. There are a number of factors that go into making an employee’s job just a little bit easier. Here are several for you to consider.

Technology

Reducing the need for strenuous activities through a CRM, ERP, or any other automation tool can have a profound impact on an employee. By implementing technology that’s designed to create a more efficient and productive workplace, businesses will in turn allow employees more time to focus on more pressing job duties, and automate the rest.

However, the implementation of technology should never come lightly. When it comes to a successful onboarding, it’s imperative that the whole team is in board and is motivated to use the CRM, ERP, or other automation tool. If the demand is only coming from people at the top, there’s bound to be problems that’ll arise. When done correctly, however, technology has the ability to enhance employee productivity and eliminate unnecessary, time-consuming tasks.

Transparency and Communication

Nobody likes working with a micromanager, or secretive management. Create an open line of communication across all employee job titles and departments. By doing so, you’ll be empowering each employee to have a true voice in the company, whether they provide feedback, suggestions, or simple conversation. This in turn will allow for employees to do their jobs in a much more open, positive environment.

A business that’s as transparent as possible is one that creates a level of trust among employees of all backgrounds and experiences. For example, you can show sales results to everyone in the company, and update them on the status of the business. Providing every employee with the same information is vital in creating a trusting, honest workplace.

Positivity

This one’s simple, but it’s based in science. Positivity must be a factor in an employee’s work environment. This can be from transparency, as discussed above, or creating a rewarding environment, as will be discussed below. Here are just a few of the many stats showing the value of happiness at work, as provided by SnackNation:

  • Companies with happy employees outperform competition by 20%
  • Employees who report being happy at work take 10 times fewer sick days
  • Close work friendships boost employee satisfaction by 50%
  • Happy salespeople produce 37% greater sales
  • Happy employees are 12% more productive than unhappy ones

As you can see, being in a good mood at work has a positive impact on productivity and ultimately makes your employees jobs easier. Consider providing nutritious snacks or creating wellness initiatives to continue creating a happy, healthy work environment.

Rewarding Environment

As a business owner or manager, it’s crucial to create an environment that rewards successes. If you see an employee going above and beyond their assigned duties, simply acknowledging their great strides can boost their enthusiasm for their work and help them produce greater results. While rewarding success is necessary, so too is addressing weaknesses or errors. Letting ineffective or low-producing employees go without constructive criticism can create a very dangerous work environment. Without the backbone of management handling negative performances, employees won’t have the motivation needed to improve, making everyone’s job a little harder. Reward success, address failures.

Available Education

One of the easiest ways to get employees to grow in their respective fields and hone in on their skill set is through the availability of education. There are a variety of educational opportunities that you can consider, such as:

  • College tuition reimbursement

    • Provide incentives for employees to pursue additional education that goes above and beyond the requirements of their current position.
  • Free seminars
    • Allow employees the opportunity to take time off of work to attend local seminars within their field of work.
  • Area conferences
    • Encourage employees to attend major area conferences, where they’ll be able to learn directly from industry experts and enhance their knowledge and skill set.
  • Online tools and webinars
    • Don’t forget about the value of online education. There are a plethora of websites and online tools that offer webinars or educational sessions at little to no cost.

These educational opportunities allow the option for employees to learn and grow in their positions, perhaps even within the company, making them more effective at their jobs.

As detailed above, there are numerous chances to make your employees jobs, and ultimately lives, easier. And even if you don’t have the funds to implement new technology or invest in an employee’s college education, there are still many other, simpler opportunities available.
