Communicate Openly
Good communication between an employer and its employees is imperative for building a positive workplace culture. As an employer, don’t hide important information from your staff or only grant the information to a select group of workers. Being aware of how the company is performing and what projects are getting started help employees see how their role fits into the organization; it also makes them more likely to respect and trust their company. Always keep your team members in the loop.
Gratitude and Appreciation
Saying “please” and “thank you” go a long way at an organization. Be empathetic to your workforce and appreciate the efforts that they contribute to your company. When an employee consistently turns in great work yet receives no recognition, you can be sure that his job satisfaction and morale is low. He might even consider finding a company that does appreciate his work. To make this scenario unrealistic at your workplace, be grateful for the work your employees do and show your appreciation through public or private recognition, parties, gift cards or whatever else would appeal to your team.
Consistent Feedback
In order to improve their work performance, an employee must receive feedback, both positive and critical. Employees find it frustrating when their work has been changed or a project isn’t approved but receive no feedback as to why these actions have happened. Help your employees grow by offering them frequent feedback on their work. Set up monthly or weekly meetings to check in with them about their progress and what goals they want to accomplish. When you take these steps, you’ll see your employees more engaged with their work.
Following Through
Nothing makes you lose credibility faster than when you overpromise and don’t deliver expected results. No matter what the scenario is, as an employer, you owe it to your staff to follow through on your commitments. If you told one employee they can attend a training to improve their skills, quickly approve the expense report when they turn it in. If another employee wants to meet with you to discuss her future at the company, don’t blow her off for another meeting or lunch date. Evoke trust and respect from your staff by showing that your commitment to them is important.
workshops on team work will be helpful. Thanks.
; Of course there are many ways to develop relations between our employees courses is one of them,I also recommend social events and teamwork tours
ER is a two way process, management and employees need to have cordial relations and this i dependent on management promises, how much they fulfilled, employees expectations and their role. yes we have different forum and methodologies to improve this relation. HR could plan town hall meetings, annual get together etc for bringing both parties closer to each other.
I believe employee relations are a product of the atmosphere set by management and the company's ethos. If we have management that is inconsistent in how they deal with employees then there will always be issues and will always make it difficult for them to work as a team. However a consistent management style followed with support and coaching will allow for any team to flourish and to communicate more effectively.
Dear Ms. Rania / Ms. Nisreen,
There are a lot of techniques/training to improve employee’s relations at work environment.
As this subject has a lot of divided ends; one of the missing things that not used a lot and it is important in my opinion is “Employees Rotation”.
Rotation can be done in many different ways in such moving to do someone else work which is directly related to the same work process.
As a process flow (start to end) it allows all of them to realize the importance of each part of this process and at the same time it would make all of them cooperate at his/her station or area to finalize his/her part in a perfect way because he/she would realize that (when I am receiving this job to continue my work I would like to have that previous part completed totally and I would like not to waste my time doing the missing or go back to ask the previous employee to complete the missing).
By this it would make all of them helping each other to finalize the complete related process as everyone is part of it and realizes the consequences of not doing his/her part on the next colleague.
Then you can name what you want from ethics/loyalty/team spirit/ etc. as an outcome from this technique.
Going on the other hand there are different methods to train them as it would be tailored specifically to the job nature and processes involved, each job and process has a different way to be handled but the basics remains.
Another way is to create tasks to be done by teamwork or teams or groups (realizing the differences between teams and groups); this would enhance all types of relations among them and even it would create a kind of good competition that would leave a lot of good impact.
Hope those simple information answers some of your kind query, if you are about something specific please indicate all relate aspects and information to guide you on the related types; knowing that this answer was general as your question was general.
Thank you and good luck.
Sure it is there in many training centers
