Productivity produces great results. That’s what every employer wants from their employees. However, it’s important to take note of what factors can affect the performance of their employees. There can be several reasons that can hinder the quality of work of employees. These can range from a perceived lack of growth to even something as seemingly trivial as the comfort of their office chairs. In the Philippines, culture may differ, but the organizations share the same sentiments as other countries. Here are a few factors of what can affect the work performance of every employee:
Fit for the job?
The qualifications of the employee must match their job description – their knowledge, skill-set and most importantly, their attitude towards their job. Unfortunately, a lot of employers still encounter this issue out of sheer necessity. One scenario is giving a task to a tenured employee due to the reason of not being able to hire someone more qualified, to do that specific task. Most of the time, employees who go through this change will feel forced to do their additional tasks. This is a standard error and will affect employee performance no matter the reason.
Employees who understand the job is not enough. Employees must show keen interest and appreciation in what they do so that growth and productivity can prosper in their craft.
The Workload
Another common factor is the consideration of an employee’s workload. Even the most exceptional employee in any organization can experience burnout if given too many tasks.
By providing a manageable workload, employees are more able to produce above average results.
The Office Space
One easily overlooked factor is the work area itself – the office space. Some say the look of the office is a reflection of the company’s culture. Dirty spaces and uncomfortable office chairs: these are enough reasons for employees to work unproductively, if not, completely jump ship. A clean and comfortable work environment is a crucial factor for positive morale.
Company Culture and Morale
Now we go to company culture and morale. This is quite difficult to define because this is unique to every organization. Fortunately, one can see the signs easily. A company has poor morale when there is constant whining and complaining – giving that general feeling of not wanting to come into work.
Organizations show good company morale when their employees show a sense of purpose. This can result in extraordinary teamwork and results in the company.
Leadership
Last but not least is the head honcho of the organization. As the saying goes, people don’t leave their jobs – they leave their bosses. All factors boil down to the main deciding body of the organization. Leaders who make inconsiderate calls for their employees will see high turnover rates.
Key Takeaway
Leaders must be able to merge two things: the best interest of their employees and their vision. This is a challenge faced by all organizations. But for employers who are able to make ends meet, employees will do their best into reaching a common goal with their company.
