  Understand What Your Employees Want from Their Role 

First and foremost, taking an interest in your employee’s goals from their role and for their overall career will help both of you. Understanding their current position and progression ideals will give you a foundation to work with, along with allowing you to plan how they can get there with your help. 

Whether you have remote teams or you have one-to-one meetings in person, it is important to check in and help identify a career path and expectations regularly so they can be put in the right place in the company.

• Promote Training, Learning, and Development 

If you want your employees to be able to give you their best, then you should provide them with the means to do it. One of the ways you can offer this is to promote training, learning, and development in and outside of the office. 

This can be done in plenty of different ways, such as offering flexi-time, training days, and allocating work time for learning.

• Give Them Space 

Micromanaging is the fastest way to kill someone’s motivation and passion for the job, but not only that, it also stifles the development of their skills, problem-solving, and creative freedom. Giving your employees space can help them ‘come into their own’, learn what they are capable of, and can also give them room to contribute their own ideas and knowledge. Not only is this beneficial for the individual, but it will also do wonders for the company overall. Diverse ideas and creativity can contribute exponentially to growth, so it is important not to stifle it. 

• Support Work-Life Balance

If your employees are burnt out, they are not going to be able to bring their best selves to the table. You might think that it is up to your employees to determine their work-life balance, but there is a lot an employer or leader can do to help make sure that it happens. Offering flexibility, helping prioritize workloads, and helping employees maximize their efficiency so that they have more time outside of work will all be beneficial to your employees’ progress and the business!
