Working with companies over the past months there is a
noticeable 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 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.
