The 3 keys to building a successful work environment are:
- Respect
- Participation & Involvement
- Fun
1. Respect:
You must earn people’s respect.
The title of manager or supervisor does not command respect. Employees expect to be treated with respect.
2. Participation & Involvement:
- People want to contribute.
- LET THEM!
Companies hire top-notch people, and then tell the employees what to do and how to do it, every step of the way.
Give employees the opportunity to participate. This gives them a sense of ownership in the project and in the company. It gives them the chance to increase their self-worth.
When an employee feels good about working for your company, they want to come to work.
3. Fun:
It is ok to have fun on the job!
Smile: People respond to smiles and other positive actions in a favorable manner. It is an inexpensive and effective way to improve productivity.
Laugh: Laughing sends oxygen to the brain, which helps you be more productive.
Relax: Enjoy your job. Give others a chance to enjoy their job, too.
