Motivating Employees (Today’s Accountants)–2-way feedback
* Promoting two-way feedback. Anual performance and appraisals should be supplemented with regular conversations on how the employees are doing. Tam members should know immediately if and when they exceeded or failed to come up at par with the expectations. The necessary steps can then be taken by the employees to improve their performance and do their best at work.
Ask comment from your staff. Ask suggestions about how they can further their career goals. Take time to listen objectively to ther ideaas and then take appropriate action.
* Make a safe-to-risk environment prevail. Let your employees take risks that are prudent in their work. You will inspire your staff to be able to develop solutions that are creative if you try to demonstrate trust in your staff. Be sure that they should always keep you informed, however, do not micromange their efforts. If they make mistake along the way, try to focus on what can be learned from the process instead of placing blame on somebody else.
