Working with companies over the past
months I have noticed that there is an increasing sense of demoralisation
amongst many sectors of the work force.
The causes for this are readily
identifiable, many people are struggling with their own domestic finances
whilst at the same time the need for increased levels of performance and
efficiencies at work have rarely been as intense.
It is the responsibility of the
Management to ensure that during these times Staff members are encouraged to
give of their best.
Too many managers are remote from the
day to day activities of their staff and appear to have the attitude that the
people who report to them are lucky to have a job.
This mentality is counterproductive.
Staff need motivating and incentives do not necessarily have to come solely in
the form of financial rewards.
Some of the best run and therefore by
definition most successful commercial entities are those where the workforce is
engaged and feels part and parcel of the organisation rather than merely there
to make up the numbers.
