Helping your Employees to cope, Adapt and Thrive at Work

Small Questions With Huge Implications:


In some instances the Gap of expectations between employer and employee is a canyon. Many reasons can account for that, chief among them a lack of communication about the expectations of both parties. What is known is employees are expected to show up and work, the rest is hazy. Here are some questions to clear the webs from your system. Cheers!




1.   Does the company mission statement challenge employees, managers, etc to strive for excellence?

2.   Does it give enough reason to contribute trust, commitment, and effort to a worthy cause?

3.   Focus first on the duties: What does your employer owe to you and it's stakeholders? Put those in a sequence of importance. Following your priorities, why should the company follow up on your priorities?

Finally:

 

4.  Think about goals: What should the company attempt to achieve along the different dimensions of performance; training, evaluation and service that are possible? Think of "service" as what the company should do to help people in its broader community. Where, in your view, should the focus be put, and why?

The relationship between employer and employee should be symbiotic, ask the questions that will effect that and the road ahead will be much less bumpy.
