Employees also appreciate knowing what managers do and what their coworkers do. Job descriptions provide an excellent foundation for performance evaluations and discussion of training needs. Provide Training Provide training for employees so that they can do well what they have been hired to do. Few people enjoy doing what they cannot do well. Mediocre performance because of lack of training and a supervisor's criticism for the mediocre performance frustrate even the most enthusiastic employee.
Training is an investment in people.
An employer's willingness to make this investment in employees helps build a positive image among employees, customers and others in the community. Show Trust Show trust in employees by delegating authority and responsibility to them. The delegation helps satisfy employees' esteem needs. It also improves their sense of being part of a team. A bonus from showing trust is the gain in time the manager has for working on his or her most important tasks.
