ESTABLISHING A SUPPORTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT

Even though there are a number of known, effective ways to spur employee motivation, an accelerating and evolving workplace makes it difficult for managers to keep up with employees' wants and needs. But managers who inspire know how to embrace changing trends and business forces.

Under mounting pressure, the best managers use the power of ideas over the power of their positions to motivate employees. They know that threats and intimidation are ineffective ways to motivate higher levels of performance from their people. Want to create a supportive workplace? Here's how.

Make employees feel comfortable and safe. Do your employees have trouble telling you bad news? If so, they don't feel safe enough to communicate their mistakes or concerns. We all make mistakes. Avoid punishing employees for the mistakes they make. Instead, create a safe environment for motivated employees who want to take chances.

Build mutual trust. Increase employee loyalty, morale, and commitment by including your employees, as well as trusting and respecting them. This will result in better ideas as employee motivation improves.

Keep communication open. What gives you an edge over your competition? Quick, efficient, and honest employee communication. A collaborative (not a closed-off) environment fosters team engagement and success.

Remember, your greatest asset is your employees. Management now is less about telling people what to do and more about developing employees. When you challenge and motivate your people, you end up seeing all the positive progress employees make with their successes.
