Achieve This?

Maintaining a strong employer and employee relationship can be the key to

the ultimate success of an organisation, the results are advantageous. It is
known that if a strong relationship is in place employees will be more
productive, more efficient, create less conflict and will be more loyal. Taking
this into consideration, is your company operating at its peak performance?
Is this because you lack a strong relationship with your employees?

The Benefits of Strong Employment relations-

Having strong employer and employee relations reaps a lot of benefits for
your business. The three most advantageous are listed below;

Productivity
Strong employment relations create a pleasant atmosphere within the work
environment; it increases the employee motivation and can also be increased
through improved employee morale. Companies that have invested into
employee relations programs have experienced increases in the productivity,
and therefore the increased productivity leads to increases in profits for the
business.

Employee Loyalty

Creating the productive and pleasant work environment has a drastic effect
on an employee’s loyalty to the business, it encourages a loyal workforce.
Having such a workforce improves employee retention, in doing so the cost
of recruitment, hiring and training is cut drastically. For most businesses the
high cost of employee turnover outweighs the cost of the employee relations
program that they have in place. Another benefit is that when the employee
turnover is low it ensures that the employer has a trained and skilled set of
employees.

Conflict Reduction

When a work environment is efficient and friendly the extent of conflict

within the workplace is reduced. Less conflict results in the employees being
able to concentrate on the tasks at hand and they are therefore more
productive.

All the research and statistics lead to one conclusion, ‘A happy workforce is a
productive workforce’. Creating a sound and efficient work environment with
good management and a strong employer- employee relation can be the vital
key to any businesses success or failure. Good luck.
Achieving Strong Employment Relations

So how exactly is a strong relationship developed? The first implicating factor

is good management. You may ask, why? Through research and surveys it
was found that an employee who respects their employer is more likely to
over-achieve in their designated duties, this creates a goal setting
environment where the productivity levels are high. So how exactly does one
perfect good management? Below is an outline of 5 factors that are
beneficial in the practice of good management.

Motivating your employees

Ask yourself these questions;

Why are the employees there? (Don’t assume it’s money- most people aren’t
one-dimensional)

What keeps them loyal to your organization?

Now you can understand the current motivation of your employees and
continue to motivate them further through encouragement and incentives.
Encouragement can be achieved simply through applauding your workers
every once in a while, both publicly and privately. It is known throughout all
levels of management that happy employees make productive employees.

Set Goals

Achieving strong employee relations  is also providing your employees with

the image of ambition and success. A saying that should be considered is
‘Under-promise, Over-deliver’. This phrase is a great managerial mantra.
Consider this; do you want to be the person who has wildly optimistic goals
that they never meet, or do you want to be the person who sets measured
goals and ends up exceeding them by leaps and bounds? Although this is
focused on image it also is focused on reputation, these are important when
seeking respect from your employees.

Delegate

Delegation of work/tasks throughout any business is important. Through

delegation you are taking an opportunity to teach and empower your
employees. This also allows you and the employees to acknowledge and
understand their strengths and weaknesses. These are a few points to
consider when delegating tasks;

Assign tasks that challenge your employees

Assume responsibility for your employees mistakes

Do not take credit for your employees achievements

Accept your own personal mistakes

Communicate Effectively
When creating a work environment with an effective communication
network there is one key factor that is vital. It is to ‘Keep your door open’.
Regularly remind and reinforce that your door is always open to any inquiries
or concerns, and that you as a manager or business owner are willing and
ready to listen. Maintaining an open channel of communication will make
you aware of problems quickly, which is beneficial for quick resolution.

Embracing Equality

Most employers aren’t into equality as they would like to believe they are. In
some cases favoritism can be subconscious. But by embracing equality for all
employees will create a fair and equal workplace environment for all. If every
employee feels equal and important they are more likely to work harder and
be more productive.

All the research and statistics lead to one conclusion, ‘A happy workforce is a
productive workforce’. Creating a sound and efficient work environment with
good management and a strong employer- employee relation can be the vital
key to any businesses success or failure. Good luck.
