As an empathetic leader, have you noticed that your staff's performance is steadily declining? In most cases, this is due to the poor quality of working conditions.
Necessary
- - skill of personnel management;
- - consultations of a psychologist.
Instructions
Step 1
Working conditions are a complex of factors, including material (temperature, lighting, personnel density per unit area) and psychological factors (emotional atmosphere in the team).
To truly improve working conditions, you must work in both directions. Conduct an informal inspection of the workplace.
Step 2
Pay attention to whether workplaces are well lit. The influence of bright lighting on increasing the efficiency of a person's work was proven by American psychologists back in the 50s. Benefits from saved electricity will not cover losses from reduced employee productivity.
Step 3
Visually estimate how many square meters are each employee's workplace. Psychologists distinguish four zones of a person's personal space: intimate, personal, social and public zones. For successful work, a person needs colleagues to be in the social zone of his personal space, i.e. at a distance of about 1.5 m from it. If this condition is not met, and others constantly invade the personal zone, the person is irritated, not collected, absent-minded and constantly distracted.
Step 4
It would also be nice to measure the temperature in the room. Low temperatures reduce the activity and performance of people.
Step 5
With the diagnosis of the psychological state of the team, the situation is a little more complicated. To solve this problem, consult with an in-house psychologist or invite a specialist from outside.
Step 6
Most problem teams have one or more people who create an unhealthy workplace environment. These are gossips, schemers, brawlers and simply mentally unstable employees. It is the psychologist's job to identify them, and your job is to take appropriate disciplinary action.
