How to support flexible working so your workforce can thrive
Flexible working is the new way of working. We break down the elements of a flexible working policy and how to set one up.
The success of a business largely hangs on its ability to find and retain an outstanding workforce - and attracting and onboarding skilled employees can be expensive.
Despite its importance for efficiency and sustained profitability, businesses can struggle with this task. The ongoing battle to hire talent and keep them engaged is a top priority among business and HR leaders.
Effective people management tools play a vital role in preventing the loss of valuable employees. Encouraging your employees’ professional development should be a priority for every savvy business leader.
Successful performance management relies on effective communication. Clear goal setting, defined responsibilities and post-project analysis help employees to succeed. Putting a formal appraisal process in place supports your workforce in achieving their potential.
During review meetings, managers should focus on exploring what the employee has learnt, and their contributions to the projects and teams they work with. It’s essential to provide and offer feedback regularly. Consider asking for feedback from line managers, colleagues and direct reports. Known as a 360-degree appraisal system, this helps create a rounded view of employee performance.
Performance management software makes structuring this task easier for managers and allows employees year-round access to their results.
Surprisingly, research repeatedly shows that money is not the main driver of an individual’s performance. Instead, employees consider empowerment, professional development, training opportunities, and self-direction as equally or more important incentives. Actively and continuously demonstrating your commitment to your workforce in ways that are meaningful to them is clearly vital to better employee motivation and engagement.
Supporting professional transformation needs to be a priority set at the top of your organisation. To help employees achieve their best, you’ll need to incorporate effective performance management, regular feedback and appraisal tools into your company’s culture.
Developing this culture creates a clear connection between performance, goals, development opportunities and peer recognition.
