How To Implement an Effective Staff Review System

Dec 10 2019

In a small business, the effectiveness of any staff you have is critically important.

Typically, small businesses employ a small number of people before they expand and grow. So in this period, the performance of those people is critical because of the leveraging effect of their impact. In much larger workforces, one slow performer is not as noticeable in the outputs generated.

It makes sense then that a small business should employ effective methods to ensure the best performance from their employees. These include the best recruitment procedures, to ensure that you not only choose people who have the skills you need, but who also fit into the way you do things in your business. These methods also include the preparation of an organisation chart or staff structure system with position descriptions so that everyone knows what their roles and responsibilities are. They also include the need to have a performance review system.

Get Your Team Motivated!

Apr 12 2016

Running a business as an entrepreneur – even if you’re a “sole-preneur” – involves working with others at some stage.

You either have to work with employees, or with contractors, VA’s, or others helping you to deliver your product or service and to serve your customer. You need to have them committed to your purpose and principles in order for you to provide the kind of quality and service that you want to provide to your customer. Believe me, if their heart isn’t in it, your customer will “feel” the lack of commitment. It will show in your turnaround times, in the design of your product or service, and in the overall culture in the workplace.

So, if your team seems to lack motivation, what can you do?

Well it starts with you, as the leader. You need to be absolutely clear about your business vision and purpose – the “why” of your being in business.

Then, I believe you can use three actions to motivate your team:-

Align
Build Trust
Be consistent and deliberate.

Watch this video about how to put these actions into place.

Many studies have shown an engaged team out-produces an unengaged team. You need to bring people with you on your exciting journey and all it takes is a few simple, but deliberate and consistent steps.
