Employees should be assigned work as per their expertise, interest area and specialization.
If you expect a marketing guy to perform in an accounts profile, he will definitely get demotivated, which would eventually affect his performance. Discuss with the employees at the time of their joining only as to what profile would suit them the most to avoid confusions later on. Key responsibility areas should be communicated to the employees very clearly from day one. If employees work on something which they are best at, not only they would be happy and satisfied but also would deliver better results.
No employee should be overburdened. Work allocation has to be equally distributed among all.
Why should only one employee do everything while others just come, enjoy and go back home? Favouritsm and partialities have no place in the professional world. Managers should not give less work to someone just because he is your friend and you like him. This way, others who actually end up doing more work eventually lose interest and start looking for better opportunities.
Encourage employees to talk to each other, discuss among themselves and work as a team not for themselves but for the organization.
It the responsibility of the management to make their employees realize that they are all part of a single family and it is not nice to fight amongst themselves and create unnecessary problems for each other. Let them have their lunch together or go out for small get togethers once in a while. This way, they seldom find office monotonous, are satisfied with their jobs and also work with full dedication.
Employees are unsatisfied the most when their voices are not heard. It might be a small problem for you but for the other person, it can be a major cause of concern. Grievances need to be addressed on an immediate basis. It is the responsibility of the human resource professionals to sit with their employees on a regular basis and find out whether they are satisfied with their jobs or not? Let them come out with their problems.
Give considerable growth opportunities to every employees.
Employees lose interest in work, the moment they have nothing new to do. Give them new work allocations, new challenges, new roles so that they get to learn something interesting every day. Do not unnecessarily pressurize them for unrealistic targets. Do not interfere much and let them work in their own way. Guide them whenever required.
Not appreciating the employees when they have performed well leads to dissatisfaction and negativity in them. The credit should not always go to the top management and team leaders but to the all employees as well.
Managers should not forget that their role is not to shout on their subordinates but to handhold them and stand by them even in the worst situations. Majority of the employees are frustrated because they do not have an understanding BOSS.
Nothing works better than rewarding employees suitably and releasing their salaries on time.
Most of the times, employees have a problem because they do not get their incentives and payments when they require the most. Why would an individual slog for an entire day if he does not require money? Do not create too much of a problem in clearing their bills.
Do not exploit them. Treat them with utmost respect and care.
