How is work efficiency measured? By the number of completed tasks, or by the number of goods sold, or maybe by the number of skills and their level of development? It is difficult to give an unequivocal answer to this question, which would be universal for all spheres of activity, however, when talking about personal work efficiency, there are principles that allow not only to evaluate, but also to improve these indicators, which definitely lead to an increase in the work efficiency of the entire company and the profit received by it. Specialists of the VIP HR US recruiting agency, who have been working for more than 10 years in the field of hiring, training and adaptation of new employees for leading companies on the US market, share their experience in improving the efficiency of staff work.
Raising the level of competence
Oddly enough, it is the factor of stagnation within their profession that contributes to a decrease in interest in work, and, as a result, reduces the motivation and efficiency of labor. That is why it is so important at the corporate level not only to encourage employees to grow and gain new knowledge both within the profession and in related fields of activity, but also to conduct training sessions and seminars on a regular basish aimed at developing professional skills and personal qualities of team members.
Our experience shows that such training does not have to be carried out at the expense of the company. Employees interested in growth, especially managers, department heads, and simply charismatic individuals, are ready to invest a small part of their income every month in training that will allow them to keep their job place, take a strong position in the team as not only a valuable employee, but also an expert and a competent leader.
New technologies as a path to success
Living in an era of rapidly developing new technologies, it is difficult to stand aside, and even more difficult not to try to improve the quality of your life and work with the help of these achievements of modern science and technology. Digitalization has become the basis for survival in any profession, and on the part of the employer, we see an urgent need to support our employees in matters of computerization, as well as the development and implementation of technologies in their professional activities.
This includes the use of smart technologies, and the provision of both the office and remote employees with all the necessary equipment for the most effective interaction with partners, customers and team members.
Implementation of corporate culture
A single corporate culture, if presented correctly, can do a lot. It is especially important, in our opinion, to include the correlation of each task with the goals and mission of the company, from the first days of an employee’s work – this is how it forms an understanding of unity, integrity and involvement.
Building an effective communication
Organizations that lack open communication between managers and employees can experience poor performance. Leaders who can be easily approached by employees and who are able to communicate their expectations effectively by explaining their responsibilities to employees are much easier to build a successful business. This helps improve efficiency as employees feel more connected to the mission and goals of the company and are more engaged.
Clear goals and performance analysis
Employees will be more effective if they have an achievable goal. Setting goals helps to increase the internal motivation of employees, strengthens their confidence in their success. The corporate system of internal ratings, as well as bonuses and incentives, always works effectively as a way to measure effectiveness.
