Productivity

Everyone wants it but it is often times so difficult to accomplish - finding the right employees, keeping them engaged and fostering their productivity.  Let's face it, without your employees your business will fail.  But, if you have an unproductive staff, your business will struggle and you will be constantly faced with turnover, costing you even more time and money and setting your business back in the process.  

Let us help you compliantly document customized job descriptions for your staff and then create job-specific key performance indicators which are routinely measured and evaluated to increase employee productivity, decrease wasted time and resources and leverage them in the event of employment issues including performance reviews, pay increases, performance improvement plans, and disciplinary measures including termination and other employment disputes.  

Along with our innovative ways of measuring and tracking employee productivity, we also have experience with other techniques necessary to foster a healthy work environment leading to increased employee satisfaction and retention:

• Techniques for the recruiting of the right candidates using behavioral interviewing to find the right cultural fit for candidates;
• Effective employee training programs to give employees the tools & resources they need from the start;
• Encouraging employee autonomy starts with training your managers how to trust their employees and incentivizing employees with the autonomy they desire once that trust is established;
• Building clear communication in your business from the bottom to the top by modeling positive and open communication;
• Find ways to incentivize your employees - your small business probably cannot compete with larger corporations when it comes to perks but you don't have to offer massages, spa treatments or in-house gyms to incentivize your staff.  Getting to know your employees will let you know what individual employees value - whether their motivation be financial, an increased work-life balance or even just simple occasional thank you for the work they perform.  Even the most basic of gestures can go a long way as long as the employee feels recognized for their accomplishments.  
• Perhaps the most difficult and most elusive technique to foster a healthy work environment is fostering employee morale because happy employees are the most productive employees.  This necessitates constant monitoring and engagement with your staff because it can change in a heartbeat and because every employee is different.  But with the right mindset, determination, tools and training, we can help your management learn to keenly observe employee behavior and take proactive measures to prevent (to the extent possible) a negative work environment.
