Ms. B made us into 4 groups and gave us different topic to discuss. My group had gotten the topic about how employer motivate employees. Surprisingly I give comments more than usual and my groupmates had to ask me to stop. I love class like this.
Back to the topic as mentioned. If I were an employer, how would I motivate my staffs?
First of all, I will give projects to my employers. As long as they can give me what I want before the due date, I do not bother what they are doing in that period of time. But make sure the quality of work is there. I try to give freedom to them and time management are all up to them. Those who gives outstanding work, they will get their rewards. For example, after a big project, they might be get paid leave. Great isn't it?
Vacation, company trip. Set targets for them, if and only they achieve certain standard, they will get what they deserve. Better result, go further. Lesser then maybe just trip nearby.
Bonus! Almost every company gives bonus. For example, CNY, Diwali or Raya. Depends on the race of the employee. The amount of the bonus they would get also depends on their performance and result of the year.
An employee represent the company. For those who has higher position, who need to go out and meet with customer or deal with banker, I would provide a company car to them. I believe that the packaging is important when you go out to see someone.
One thing which is very important, could be the part I care the most which is the atmosphere of working. I want my staffs work under a harmony and relax atmosphere. I hate, I do not like the barrier the obvious barrier between the boss and the staffs. Everyone should be treated same. All of us are human being. Anyone can make mistake. Staff can give feedback to boss, vice versa. Everyone working together, you might spend most of your time with those people, I hope all can work under a comfortable and lovely situation like a big family. Office is your second home. You can bring what you want to make it cozy.
You might ask, how is for those big company. Nothing to be worried, all we have to do just have to separate into few small groups and lead by a leader/supervisor. What is going on in that group all are the leader's responsibility. I only want to see the end result from the group. I not really care about the process.
Team building also one idea to blend all the staffs and bosses. This may help to know each other more and all can share their ideas more open.
In every month, the employer can have an outing "makan" trip. Maybe can set it on one of the weekdays, everyone in the company/team is going out for a meal in the lunch hour. Of course, the lunch hour will be extended. Celebrating that month birthday people also can be one of the reason for eating out.
I do not encourage work overtime. Because some would just pretend and hope to get pay for overtime. Since, I more prefer flexible working hours, I just want my staff to give what I want on time and I do not care how they manage the time. They can work from 12am to 6am or 8am to 5pm.
These are the things I am looking for when I search for a job.
If I were the boss... For those who cannot fulfill or work under the rules above they might get fired. For example, some who cannot discipline themselves, some do not take work serious, those cannot provide perfect 100% work, those cannot cope with the colleagues... These people are not suitable to work under these awesome condition.
What you get all depends on how much you work. It sounds easy but actually, it is very tiring when you work with the boss like this.
After the discussion, my friends said I am in wrong career line. My brain is more to business. Yea I am strongly agree I am a managing people, a planner. Everyone was asking me to hire them if I open my own physiotherapy center. I learn all these from my family and friends around me. I am very lucky that I am growing up in a business family background. And I have friends who work as an event planner and also my aunt is working with Philip Morris.
I listen and I learn this better than my anatomy. Feel satisfy and proud for my brain today.
