businesses to be more
streamlined and productive a company can often find itself with a
workforce working under pressure resulting in low moral and high
staff turnover. The benefits of a company having a highly motivated
workforce can be considerable and the two goals of having a
workforce that is both motivated and productive should not be
regarded as being mutually exclusive to one another.

job and more often than not staff frustration is channelled into a
demand for higher salaries and less hours. Employers who tackle
these issues head on, making it all about salary and hours, will
often find themselves dealing with the symptoms and not the root
cause.

salaries is the answer to all employee problems.

flexible working hours.

It is About Communication
Credit Division Service
It is important for any company to encourage communication.
Company's that make communication between personnel and management
difficult, or take the view that if personnel have a problem they
will say something, can often delude themselves into thinking their
workforce is content when it is not. It only takes one small
problem and one disgruntled employee to feel aggrieved for an
entire workforce to develop a destructive 'them and us'
attitude.

Improving Communication

One to one meetings between employer and employee would be ideal
but in practice only practical for very small businesses.

Regular meetings between management and worker representatives are
good in theory but they often become talking shops and can begin to
loose their edge as the participants become familiar with one
another and the forum runs the risk of being hijacked by the more
extrovert personalities.

Suggestion boxes are useful but can be viewed as token efforts by
management as they wait for personnel to highlight a problem.

manager will take counsel from all quarters before making a
decision. By issuing a survey and keeping the initiative the
employer is able to tackle problems from a position of strength as
opposed to waiting for problems to fester and then develop out of
proportion.

workforce important information, the 'message' is consistently
delivered and does not suffer from the Chinese whisper phenomenon
where a message can be distorted as it is handed down.

valuable feedback from the employees as to the best solution. It is

challenge that unites the workforce.

Exit Surveys
Card Chase Credit Customer
Exit surveys are an excellent way of ensuring that when personnel
leave an organisation they are leaving for the right reasons and
not due to reasons that if appreciated earlier could have been
addressed and resolved by management. Although identifying a
problem may not prevent a person leaving it could solve an
unappreciated issue that may, if left unchecked, result in other
key personnel also leaving.
