Employees Naturally Trust Leaders That Show These 5 Powerful Habits

Employees Naturally Trust Leaders That Show These 5 Powerful Habits | information analyst | Scoop.it
From www.inc.com - December 20, 2016 7:11 PM

Organizations far and wide have for years attempted to crack the code on what makes for a healthy and profitable work culture. Well, let me save you time and money and simply break it to you here: It is trust.

 

We already know this to be true from several studies. For example, Great Place to Work -- the global research consultancy that partners with Fortune to conduct the annual study of those "best companies" -- confirms that trust is the human behavior you cannot afford not to have.

 

The research on those companies (Google, to no surprise, being No. 1 on the list seven out of the last 10 years) says that 92 percent of employees surveyed believe that management is transparent in its business practices. And transparency begets trust.

The Simplest Way To Know What Everyone's Doing At Work

The Simplest Way To Know What Everyone's Doing At Work | information analyst | Scoop.it
From www.fastcompany.com - November 22, 2013 12:24 AM

One of the biggest challenges of knowledge work is its lack of visibility. Getting a clear picture of what’s going on in a collection of minds, including your own, is much more difficult than seeing the visible progress of constructing a house or assembling a physical product. And when you can’t see what you’re building together as a company, it takes extra time, effort, and work to manage problems, progress, and processes.

 

So how do you make the invisible visible?

In the modern often remote workplace sharing work is essential to an efficient and collaborative team. Writing is the simple powerful tool that can.
Lisa Armstrong's curator insight, November 23, 2013 12:11 AM

It's a confronting notion. Of all the hours dedicated to team meetings,  review workshops, project review meetings .... across our organisations. And we still don't know what employees and teams are truly doing. A poor ROI indeed!

Social media enables employee and team connectivity beyond the confines of any meeting. Employees can post pix and videos of their lunch and others can like, comment or share their experiences. Challenge is how we have them connect and interact about deeper content than their lunch. Connect and interact with content about their job. That's the leadership knack!

Science Says You Shouldn't Work More Than This Number of Hours a Week

Science Says You Shouldn't Work More Than This Number of Hours a Week | information analyst | Scoop.it
From www.inc.com - June 27, 2016 12:41 AM

Do you work more than 40 hours a week? If you're an entrepreneur or small business owner, it's hard not to, but all that extra time in the workplace isn't necessarily a good thing. After a certain point, it can be counterproductive and even hazardous to your health, so it's imperative to know when to say no to more hours. 

 

Various organizations and independent researchers have looked at the physical, mental, emotional, and social effects of working beyond the standard 40 hours a week. Notable findings include the following:

  • Working more than 10 hours a day is associated with a 60 percent jump in risk of cardiovascular issues.
  • 10 percent of those working 50 to 60 hours report relationship problems; the rate increases to 30 percent for those working more than 60 hours.
  • Working more than 40 hours a week is associated with increased alcohol and tobacco consumption, as well as unhealthy weight gain in men and depression in women.

In order to comply with the impending DOL overtime rule change, business owners are going to have to start carefully tracking employee hours. Compliance isn't optional ... and could present a major upheaval, depending on your industry.

 

Turns out, there might be a silver lining in restricting employee hours. According to research sourced by Inc., workers who put in more than 40 hours per week are not only less productive, but also at greater risk for a host of stress-related illnesses.

 

Keep headaches at bay, for both business owners and their employees, by implementing a time and money saving system for monitoring regular and overtime hours.

Some very interesting statistics particularly around absenteeism associated with overtime!
