The relationship of employees gets stronger with the organization if it
constantly keeps sharing with them its aspirations, hopes, vision,
goals, problems, stakes involved, responsibilities, happenings,
achievements and shortcomings in relation to their roles.
Top executives are usually highly motivated because they have more
information and are well aware of the stakes involved.
Employees should know how to read balance sheets, income statements,
cash flow, after tax profits, equity etc to understand how the company
is doing.
Weekly/monthly updated income statements should be distributed
and discussed by the team leader, making the team members aware of the
performance of the company vis-a-vis targets.
The salary slips can come with short notes (of not more
than two lines) on company's goals vs. achievements, thrust areas, values the
organization stands for and some relevant positive affirmations. These can be
kept on the computer server or the home page on the Internet.
Let there be quiz competitions that challenge people to put together the
flow chart jigsaw puzzle pieces of the manufacturing process of the
product the company is involved with or correctly assemble the product
parts together.
These flow chart pieces should be available like library books for any
employee to try at home. Any one who can put these together in
weekly/monthly contests should be given a small token prize like a tie
or a T-shirt.
