Employees working in the company must be engaged with the work, their functional teams as well as the company that they spend the better part of their days every week, every month, year after year. The Line Manager has a critical role to play in utilizing his management acumen and learning to drive the point home and keep employees productively engaged within teams.

Do not encourage your employees to compete within the team!

 

If you force your employees into competition, the team playing will reduce immediatly.

Motivation by means of showing a career path in the company which can be achieved by performance. Training & orientation if needed to enhance any skills needed for the role.

This can can be done simply by:

- Practising teamwork by the management so as to be a role model since works speak louder than words and walking the talk proves credibility and fosters positive culture.

- Training, training, training   

 

But it is easier said than done, as theory making is always easy, practice is always a challenge

Simply by giving them recognition in great jobs they do and not only to give them an attention when they do mistakes.

Motivate them, let them know that their ideas are all taken consider so they can give more and if they know that they are being seen by the management then they will always volunteer to in a team and for sure they will be productive.

Management can turn an employee into team player by:

  • 1.       spreading the culture of team spirit, where work is assigned to teams not individuals, and reward and recognition is given on the basis of how much you contributed to the team?.
  • 2.       Training and coaching the employee on skills he needs to be an effective team member, like training on communication skills.
  • 3.       Giving the employee a real feel of what a team player is; by attaching him to an experienced team as an observer where he is not required to contribute but experience hands-on the team life.
  • 4.       Successful examples also help; where you show your employees actual success stories where teams made it together and how much the reward was bigger.
  • 5.       It is important to notice that some employees are not capable of becoming team players even after training and coaching, because of some personal limitations.

As per the new generation people need fun at work place. If we connect fun with work then the employees will be working much more than needed. Team building activities, arranging for outdoor trips and so on. If there is work with fun then employees do the work as a team and there's team bonding and then in turn enhance team player.
