Moving the needle calls for collaborative intention and effort. In numerous situations, moving the needle is considered to be a positive move though not all the time. This figure of speech is applicable in inspiring motivation across business, workplace and personal development. This enables people and teams to achieve greater success.
For the passion and zeal of enhancing employee engagement, we shall discuss about moving the needle in the workplace. Team management and engagement is a matter of dealing with group dynamics that carried varying opinions and mindsets. Recognition for a job well done is a big deal when it comes to employee management and this at most times is a deal breaker on matters employee motivation and belonging.
A team leader or senior manager may overlook the good job done by the support staff which in a way ends up negating future performance. Success across a department, business unit, branch or individual requires keen observation and monitoring from the top level.
It is human nature to crave for appreciation after a job well done which justifies feelings of under-appreciation or ignorance. This not only applies in the work place but also in marriage, friendships and parenting.
Open communication on how to build a transformative team culture is prudent. Communication session for a team facilitated by Adept Advisory.
It is prudent for the team leader and support staff to have a clear and concise meaning of success depending on the nature and expectations of their work. This is where the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) come into play. The expected outcomes for a team or individual should be clearly communicated to better assist in evaluation and appraisal.
Collective effort is very key and no appreciation opportunity should be wasted. Gather courage is making change and taking bold steps that can propel teams to greatness. Senior management and the support staff should strive to move the same needle (attaining a collective objective).
As you reflect with your team, ask yourselves, ‘How do we intend to move the needle for our unit?’
Always remember that cohesion never thrives in isolation.
