In a survey carried out by Hay Group, it was concluded that people can increase their productivity by more than 30% if they feel motivated in a place that has a good work environment.
Down below we share some actions that result in excellent management of the work environment in an organization:
1. Leadership: It is essential that leaders inspire and motivate everyone on their teams so that they enjoy their jobs and achieve their goals and objectives every day. Training, educating and developing the emotional intelligence of leaders, helps them have the necessary resources to foster good interpersonal relationships.
2. Effective communication: Promoting an environment where communication is the protagonist, people will feel free to openly express themselves in those “circles of trust” where the company listens and takes them into account.
Transform criticism and gossip into an opportunity for constant improvement for the company. Establish suggestion channels, incident logs, periodic leader-collaborator meetings, opinion sampling, etc.
3. Share objectives, progress and results: Promote transparency and think about how you are going to achieve a united and dedicated team that is committed to the company. If employees don’t have a clear starting point and if they don’t know where they are going and how they are doing through the process, identification and commitment to the organization will not be achieved. Share progress and results of the objectives and the real value contribution that each department makes. Congratulate and announce the adjustments that are going to be made.
4. Strengthen company culture: The values and purpose of the company should not be just statements that hang on a wall or serve as a wallpaper. Promoting them through activities, communication, training, recognition and exemplarity is the way to internalize and ensure that everyone lives the personality of the company, the way of being and acting in the organization.
5. Promote integration, feeling of belonging and teamwork: Socialization activities unite and promote the informal perspective of work, generating confidence and motivation. Search through team building, generate spaces for reflection on how to improve work and the work environment in the areas.
