SELF-WORTH

Our work culture has changed dramatically over the years. Previously salary was the sole motivating factor for corporate success. High pay, high delivery!! Now, however, recognition of “self-worth” is the larger issue employers have to deal with.

Most employees suffer from what is known as the ‘I am not worth it’ syndrome. They feel ‘overworked and under valued’. As an employer, you cannot take this issue lightly as it impacts directly to your ROI (Return on Investment).

True enough ‘self-worth’ is not a tangible concept that can be measured. However it can be increased. It does not have to come in an extravagant way, just simple gestures makes a world of difference to your employee. Here are a few treasures you might like to implement at your work place.

When you meet an employee at the hallway greet them with a genial hello. It pays in the long run.

While vainly trying to solve a problem, and you know someone in the office may have some awareness, boot out and pick brain. You will be surprised at the outcome.

Don’t encourage internal competition. There will be more losers than winners. This can do a lot of damage to self-esteem, which adversely effects output.

Try not to concentrate solely on skills and abilities. Tap in to the concerns of your employees.

Fancy award dinners are not essential. What is? A simple thank-you and see the difference in your employees work attitude.

Have a month when everyone’s named employee of the month.

If you have “complaints” department in your organisation, be sure to create a “compliment” department too.

Who should have access to customer inputs? Everyone. Not just the customer relation department.

Respect takes years to build, but it takes a second to break. So the next time you raise your voice think carefully about what you are going to say.

Few people expect high pay. Everyone expects fair pay.

Work place hierarchy encourages terms like boss, sub-ordinate, my people, your people; don’t be surprised if some of your employees feel like second-class work place citizens.
Space does matter!! few enjoy the luxury of monster-sized cabins while the remaining majority make do with tiny cubicles. What message are you sending?

If you think you are turning into Dilbert, start worrying.

Don’t encourage employee attitude tests. They are self worth killers.

Don’t go on an obsessive change management programme. Bring in one change and do it well, don’t do a hundred things that may not work as you intended.

These measures will make you sit up and notice the positive change in your organisation.
