If you know that your team are not as happy as they could be, or if you feel as though they are not working very productively, then your business structure could be to blame. You may find that you are not providing them with the support they need, and this can have a huge impact on your company’s future.

Progress

Constructive criticism can help to guide people in the right direction, and it is also a fantastic way for you to point out the good things that your team do. Acknowledge them on an individual basis, and tell them verbally that you are aware of the effort they put in. You then need to tell them how they could progress and work their way up to more responsibility. This will keep your team motivated and it will also show them that you acknowledge them as well.

Team-Building

There are many different positions in a workplace. You will also have team members that have varying levels of experience as well, but you need them all to work well with one another. If you know that your team aren’t working as well as they could be, then it is a good idea to setup teambuilding activities. Social gatherings are also another fantastic way for you to bring your team together. When you host events like this, you show your team that you care about them more than just on a business level, and this can boost your workplace wellness.

Trust your Team

It’s so important that you delegate various tasks to your team, without micromanaging them. If you are able to instil trust in your team then you will learn more about them and they will have their confidence boosted. You might also want to ask your team for ideas regarding workplace management too, as this can help you to change your business policies so that they are more in-line with what your team need.

Work and Life Balance

If you force your team to work long hours, or even to miss out on important family events because of the workload you are giving them, then this won’t be creating a positive working environment. Your team may grow to dislike your company and your practices, and they may even seek out bigger or better opportunities. This can cause you to have a high employee turnover and a lower level of profit. If you want to avoid this then you need to give your team the chance of having a good work-life balance. This could include giving them more holidays or even providing them with additional flexible working hours. If you can’t do this because of the high workload you have, consider hiring more people, or even making your business more efficient in various sectors. This isn’t too hard to do, and you would be surprised at how much of a positive impact it could have on your workplace.  Your team will be happier for it as well, and they will always appreciate you trying on their behalf.
