Inspiration and encouragement is something we all need from time to time. In an office full of different personalities at times we need even more inspiration. Below are tips for inspiring your staff to be great while at work.
Set a positive atmosphere. When your staff arrives in the morning post a note or send an email that lets them know today will be a great day. If your staff knows you believe this they will follow suit. (Either the day runs you or you run it.) Have positive words posted in your break room or employee lounge that way they see it and it becomes branded in their mind.
Appreciate your staff. If your employees know they are an asset to your organization and know you want them to be successful they will work harder for you. Tell them you are grateful to have them in your organization.
Get feedback. Your employees and staff will see more than you do (in your practice) on a day-to-day. They will know what is working for your practice and what isn't working. Hold weekly or monthly meetings, listen and take notes you will learn so much more about your organization.
Invest in your employees. Never be afraid to train or educate your staff. If they are an asset to your organization investing in them will help them and your organization grow. Allow them to take continuing education classes or courses, and attend seminars that relate to their position in your organization. The more they know the more they can help your practice grow.
Communication. The work atmosphere will be very productive if you have proper channels of communication. Do not only talk with your employees but also listen. As stated before your staff sees a lot more than you do. Express your goals to them and tell them what you wish to accomplish in this day, week, month, or year. With a clear understanding your staff will work harder at meeting goals.
