Offer formal and informal training. By fostering a learning environment, you will help employees stay on top of the latest skills related to their job duties. Work with your employees on a plan to achieve their goals. This will help motivate employees and may encourage them to further develop their skills. Reward and appreciate good work.
Positive reinforcement is one of the best ways to motivate employees to work their best.
Lead by example. You set an example to others in your workplace. Make sure that your own actions are consistent with the expectations you place on your employees. When you practice effective management techniques and create a healthy work environment, both you and your employees benefit. The EAP provides confidential management consultation to supervisors on workplace issues.
