The involvement of teams at work is a prerequisite for operational efficiency and company performance. Here are five tips for managers to successfully involve their teams in the daily life of the company.
1. Develop a bond of trust and respect
First and foremost, it is important for managers to create a relationship of trust and mutual respect with their teams. This is a prerequisite to ensure the commitment and motivation of employees. The manager must therefore demonstrate certain qualities that are essential to gain the trust of employees, such as leadership skills, listening skills, humility, exemplarity, natural authority, emotional intelligence, optimism, etc. If guided by an inspiring, charismatic and exemplary leader, employees will naturally be more involved and motivated to achieve the objectives set.2. Ensure well-being at work
Logically, a happy employee will be more productive and committed. To involve employees, it is therefore essential to ensure a good quality of life at work. This includes:- A good balance between professional and personal life.
- A comfortable work environment that is conducive to concentration and productivity.
- A positive and caring work environment.
- Fair working conditions (salaries in line with responsibilities, reasonable working hours, paid vacations, etc.).
- Good team cohesion and a spirit of mutual aid.
- Professional development opportunities.
- An open and benevolent dialogue.
