Benefit mutual when staff share control

IT’S VERY important. for managers to give people deci- sion-making responsibility and some control over their -work. Control involves both what employees do and when

they do it. . . ; Delegating more of the depart-

‘ment’s work to staff can benefit

both employees and managers.

There’s no use taking home a _

stack of files over the weekend and announcing a plan on Mon- day. If I involve my staff instead, they’re more willing to participate. Besides, they have gocd ideas, ex- plained one executive.

Being flexible about work hours’

isa key way to give employees the control that makes them want to stay. Flexibility is the leading _Satisfier among employees who have flex-time, part-time, job sharing and work-at-home oppor- ‘qunities.

Even if an organization doesn’t Officially allow for working at home, managers can provide flex- ibitity informally.

People are starved for time dur- ing the day to take care of per- sonal matters.

A sense of connection is an enormously powerful tie. Employees need a sense of work- ing together, of being a team.

That family feeling comes when managers find ways of simulta- neously setting limits and nurtur- ing, as a good parent does. When the rules are clear, staffers know what they can ask for.

business. ‘‘It always amazes me how casy it is to forget to provide positive feedback. Employees can never get enough, a managey said.

Showing appreciation can range from a casual, ‘‘Hey, thanks for handling that call — sounds like you headed off trouble’? to put- ting someone up for an award.

You can’t give someone a sense of purpose, but you can help them find it. Making them feel part of a Jarger mission is just the first step. It’s also important to under- stand personal goals.

Starting can be as simple as asking over lunch, ‘What is im- portant to you? Why do you work?’ The answers will help you build the individual’s commitment to the job by making job assign- ments and giving rewards that are specifically meaningful to her.

Individual managers can make a telling difference in how employees feel about a company.

And the benefit is mutual; staf- fers whose jobs are crafted to meet their needs are likely to pay back that attention with initiative, imagination and _ old-fashioned hard work.
