Everyday workplace policies
|
|
Managing people takes time and resources. You can save yourself a lot of effort simply by having a
clear policy on many everyday issues.
|
|
|
|
Performance appraisals
|
|
Maintaining employees' focus and motivation is essential if they are to make a full contribution
to your business.
|

|
|
Leadership
|
|
Whether you are the managing director or the office supervisor, the way you lead is the biggest
success factor for everyone you work with.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Managing change
|
|
Making the necessary changes before they are forced upon you will bring competitive
advantages. Creating a culture of innovation can transform your busines
|
|
|
|
|
Motivating employees
|
|
Most employees spend less than half their time at work being genuinely productive. For
the business owner, this is frustrating and expensive.
|
|
|
|
|
Teambuilding
|
|
When a small group of people starts working towards shared goals and producing results
that add up to more than the sum of the parts, it becomes a team.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Communicating with employees
|
|
'Poor communication' is one of the most common criticisms employees have about the
businesses they work for.
|
|
|
|
|
Assertiveness
|
|
Developing assertiveness can be the key to getting the best out of your people - increased
sales, better customer service, higher productivity and more ideas for improvement
|
|
|
|
|
Managing your time
|
|
Time is like money. If you control it, you can create a satisfactory and productive working
environment. If you do not control it, you can spend your working life in an exhausting
and depressing muddle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stress management
|
|
Stress affects employers as well as employees. It can cause illness and absenteeism. It can
also be the cause of bad business decisions, poor workplace relations, and loss of
productivity.
|
|
|
|
|
Employees who work from home
|
|
New technologies and social change make working from home - sometimes called teleworking -
an increasingly cost-effective and attractive option both for individuals and the
organisations they work for.
|
|
|
|
|
Discipline & grievance issues
|
|
Disciplinary issues can result in unfair dismissal cases, if mishandled. Grievances can lead
to low productivity, unwanted resignations and even constructive dismissal cases, if ignored.
Both areas are minefields for employers.

|
The law on flexible working
|
|
As an employer, you
need to know about flexible working. The law say's you must 'consider seriously' requests to work flexibly from employees with a child under six or a disabled child under eighteen. |
