A- I believe the trust, open book management, communication, motivation, decentralization, shared vision and mission have salient effect on managing employees for profit company environment especially when they are managed effectively by fostering an atmosphere conducive for work.
Open book management is a style of management where necessary information is revealed to the employees as well as the goals of the organization. With this type of management, trust is built between the senior and the junior employees now that they are all working in the attainment of similar goals. Open book management emphasizes on the training of employees so that they can be familiar with the organization’s goals hence working in harmony to realize them by enhancing their performance. Moreover, the creation of open book management gives employees the opportunity to have a financial stake in the performance of the organization. Communication plays a very vital role in enhancing the relationship between employees. By establishing a workplace that has a happy, energetic and stress free atmosphere, employees are motivated to perform their tasks appropriately. The employees will feel empowered and rewarded because it is a cogent process of sharing power with them. a sagacious company will seek to implement these changes to ensure that employees value their work and hence improve on their work performance.
Organization Culture
The entire company will be governed by a vision and a mission that will establish and strengthen the company’s culture. A strong culture will be encouraged so as to influence the way the employees behave and think. The company’s culture will be enriched by strong moral values and ethical behavior that will be applicable to all employees including the senior employees.
Decision Making
The decision making process will be open for all and ideas from the employees will be welcomed in the attempt to reach a decision. More information concerning the problem and the possible solutions will be available since a group of people is involved in the decision making. Departments or sectional decisions can be made and ideas forwarded to the board of directors through the department representatives. The ideas will be discussed and decisions will be made by vetting or by use of critical analysis. This type of group decision making provides an opportunity for intellectual stimulation allowing people to stretch their thinking capacity to come up with competent decisions. The productivity of employees will be enhanced because they will understand why a decision was made and will show commitment to the decision made.
Ethics
Ethics is the overall behaviour towards the work and the people working in that company. Ethical decisions are however guided by the values of an individual. It is a question of morals and others might argue that what is ethical to one person is not ethical to others. It is about making a choice of what is right and what is wrong. The question is, what is the criterion of deciding what is right and what is wrong? Characters such as integrity, independence, respect, honesty and value for privacy will be emphasized to all employees in the company. However, company ethics will not only be limited to what is written, and it should be extended as the need arise.
Organizational Structure and Agility
Just like the decision making process, the organizational structure is decentralized and each department is given the mandate to make their own decisions as pertains their department. The senior management assign tasks to different departments and gives them the authority to tackle the assignment uninterrupted. The senior management is only there to give guidelines, but not to control how the work is done. This gives the employees a sense of responsibility and ownership boosting their performance.
Human Resources
Employees’ recruitment and other employee related activities will be assigned to the human resources department. The process of recruitment will include several tests including; integrity test, performance test, cognitive ability test, personality test and drug test. This seeks to differentiate those who appreciate and are ready to hold up the company’s culture from those who do not believe in the culture and values of the company. Employees will be divided into section with each section assigned to work on a different task such as creation of employee handbook and information dissemination.
Diverse Workforce
It is important to recognize the fact that diversity in the workforce brings about new inventions and innovations in the various departments in the organization. Diversity of skills in different fields, for instance, technology, manpower and resource management, institutional administration would be very beneficial to the organization. Diversity in the cultural and ethnical backgrounds also brings about the different skills into the organization. Different employees are endowed with different talents as well as networking abilities hence they should be retained for the benefit of the company. A multicultural and diverse organization delivers makes good progress in terms of attaining its goals and objectives.
Diversity in trainings also brings out the variety of skills and backgrounds thereby achieving desired results in pursuit of the organization’s goals.
7. Type of Leadership
Desired leadership is that which is combined of good character, values, ethics and professionalism. Diverse leadership skills entail incorporating the organization’s goals and attitudes towards the strategic plans and objectives. Good leadership is stewardship to the rest of the staff towards the successful implementation of the organization’s plans by participating in the programs and making informed decisions. Outstanding leadership structure also ensures that sufficient funding is done to the different programs thereby ascertaining the sustainability of such programs.
8. Employee Motivation
Employee motivation is a main driver for productivity, and it can be conducted in various strategies .Employees should motivated using sustainable and satisfactory reward systems. Good managers must motivate workers to join and remain in the organization, to come to work regularly, to perform as per the organization’s goals and objectives and to exhibit good citizenship. This is best done when such managers understand the various needs of the employees, the conditions under which they work best as well as their beliefs and perceptions about their jobs. This allows room for the employees to work even during their extra time for the benefit of the organization. This in turn creates a conducive environment for empowering the staff to deliver to their best of abilities. Such employees can be promoted without much struggle I the organization.
9. Teamwork
Teamwork is an important aspect in the organization and should be encouraged in all dimensions. Both the managers and the employees should bond together so that they share various ideas and responsibilities. This in turn increase productivity, improve quality and reduce costs. Teamwork also enhances speed and is powerful forces of innovation, invention and change. This is because various ideas, skills and talents are put together for decision making, thereby creating new strategies for the organization. At the same time teamwork is a learning experience where employees learn various issues from each other, hence personal needs such as affiliation and esteem are sorted out. Teamwork also entails the fact that the organization receives awards that it could not have achieved when the employees work in isolation.
10. Creating and managing change.
Change is an evitable and a very crucial aspect in the organization. Managers and employees should be the pioneer agent of change by identifying and recognizing opportunities so as to acquire better results. They should be great thinkers with who are willing to overcome the daily challenges to achieve the best of the Organization. Changes become successful when everyone in the Organization cares about the fate of such an Organization.
