Observing Employees is a Key Management Skill

By pat, No Comments
 

Observation skills are necessary when managing employees.   Probably a good idea to take some time each day to observe different members of your team.    Your ability to observe will help you be aware how the people perceive you, whether your message is received and where there is a need for intervention to improve the performance of your team.

You can watch to see if an employee needs adjustment or recognition around their performance or behaviors. Both aspects are essential in coaching an employee for continuous improvement or motivation to maintain their high level of performance.

How to Increase Employee Engagement

Are managers clear around how to best engage their employees?  Maybe they too suffer from lack of full engagement.  Gallup’s most recent research finds that only 13% of employees worldwide are engaged at work.

I found at Dale Carnegie Training an infographic on “The Importance of Employee Engagement.”   If you look at their stats:

  • $11 BILLION is lost annually due to employee turnover
  • Companies with Engage Employees outperform others up to 202%
  • 71% of all employees are not fully engaged

The site also provides drivers of disengagement, traits of an engaged employee and guidelines to help lead the way to increase employee’s engagement with the company.

How to Handle the Blamer

A manager interacts daily with different personalities, either other managers or their team members, and has to figure out an effective way to act with others. There are numerous traits employees exhibit while at work and one of them is an individual who blames others or situations for their performance or behaviors.  Blamers can create a negative workplace for others, and you need to handle his type of person promptly for any change in their focus.

Not all blamers are alike.   There are your chronic blamers and situational blamers.

Chronic Blamers

As a manager, you are constantly evaluating the performance of each of your employees. That is your main role – to support each of your team members to perform at their best. What happens when you have an employee whose performance is not meeting expectations?

It’s important that you address performance issues as soon as you notice them.
Mainly because it helps the employee perform better, and poor performance
also impacts the performance of the other team members.

There are three main areas a manager operates within when working with individual team members: coach, counsel or terminate. What constitutes each area of management?

Managing Employee Expectations

Managing employees takes skill and knowledge on how best to build a team that is productive.  A manager needs to have in their toolbox areas of strength that help them direct, encourage, coach and support their direct reports.  Obviously, a toolbox has many tools in it depending on what you want to do.   So what tool is most important in managing employees?

The foundation of managing employees is providing clear expectations.
