Managing your employees is important for the success of your business. It involves various tasks such as organising, leading, and motivating them to perform their various roles that are necessary for the growth of your business. 

To be able to manage them effectively,  there are three essential skills you need to embrace as a business owner. 

These skills you need to improve are building trust, being a better communicator and establishing regular check-ins.

Building Trust

Building trust in the workplace helps improve productivity and less stress for your staff. Create trust and better relationships with your colleagues by engaging in small talk before meetings and learning more about their lives outside the scope of their work. 

In addition, encourage inclusive conversations about personal and professional differences, and be open to different viewpoints in discussions.

Doing so can encourage a greater sense of belonging and motivation.

Being a Better Communicator

Strong communication skills are a must-have for any successful manager. When facing challenges in business, be transparent about tasks at hand and carry members of your staff along on all major changes. By doing this, you’ll set your team up for success.

Establishing Regular Check-ins

Make it a habit to regularly check in with your employees outside of their regular performance reviews.

Keep the conversation informal when giving feedback and focus on the person’s progress toward organisational goals rather than their personality. In addition, help them make a plan for improvement.
