With Tony Robbins in town last week, I will have a look at the third stop of the Employee journey from a motivational angle. Our fictional candidate is now a well onboarded employee and enters the Performance stage.
It is the time to achieve goals, contribute and receive recognition. Everything stands and falls with clear communication of expectations, constructive feedback and motivation.
We at Timeo-Performance have been helping companies in APAC find, develop and manage employees since 2008. Our mission is to improve the world of work for everyone – managers and employees.
1. Why do so many managers forget they are human beings?
As human beings, we are all driven by basic needs for meaning, happiness, human connectedness, and a desire to contribute positively to others. And leaders that truly understands these needs, and lead in a way that enables these intrinsic motivations, have the keys to enable strong loyalty, engagement and performance. As leaders, we must be humans before managers.
2. It is time to get rid of annual performance reviews
To develop your human capital, your emphasis needs to be on supporting and helping employees succeed, not on divvying up the budget for salary increases. Dialogues need to be more frequent, more focused on the future and on solving problems – and more collaborative. Enter the concept of weekly conversations.
3. Motivate your team by boosting engagement
When teams are not highly engaged, the underlying culprit is often poor conflict management, low trust levels, and/or an absence of open communication. How can you tell if your team is disengaged? A lack of honest feedback, little to no social connection among team members, a high percentage of “Debbie Downers” or those that seem inflexible or sluggish, or just a sense that people seems mentally or professionally checked out can all be signs. To better understand how engagement works, let’s take a closer look at the capabilities behind it.
4. Ask an honest HR professional: How can I prove my value without bragging?
Here are three ways you can ensure your work isn’t hiding in a black box.
About Timeo-Performance
We were founded with a vision to improve the world of work for everyone
We are in the Skills Business!
Through recruitment, training and consulting, Timeo-Performance provides solutions for increased performance of companies, teams, and individuals. As our clients are in the center of global business and often serve the APAC region, our solutions need to be sustainable in a multicultural and remote context.
Our joint venture with Akteos, the European leader in intercultural training, and partnership with digital learning solutions provider CrossKnowledge have therefore been organic and logical additions to our service. Timeo-Performance has been helping companies in APAC increase business performance since 2008 with offices in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.
We love what we do, feel the Timeo-Performance experience!
As busy professionals, our schedules are often filled to the brim with meetings and tasks to complete. We can get so caught up with work that we might even forget our all-important lunch and power through dinner as well. Alas, we can only do so much given the 24 hours we have in a day. While time management is vital, being productive is another matter in its entirety.Enter time batching.
