Why do employees waste so much time? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you hire employees, you expect them to be efficient and do the job right. The employees who seek you out most generally ramped up their resumes, interviewed, and wanted their job. So why, once they get the job, do they slip into habits of time wasting and self-entitlement? According to recent data from Salary, employees give the following responses: · 34% of employees say they are not challenged · 34% say they work long hours · 32% say there’s no incentive to work harder · 30% are unsatisfied with work · 23% are just plain bored · 18% say it’s due to low wages As dismal as these reasons may be, all of them contribute to a lack of productivity. With no drive to work hard, employees simply plod through their work unfocused and unmotivated and get little done each day. Menial tasks become accepted as a way to fill time. Three Ideas for Higher Productivity ====================== 1. First, know your employees 2. Second, establish rules and guidelines that motivate. 3. Third, measure and reward results, not time on the clock.
