Creating a great working place
Friday, September 29, 2006
So I've started writing my business plan for a food franchise. All I can say is, it's hard! It will be so much easier to get a job and just work.
One of the good reasons I think by having a blog is you remember what you type in it. It's like; you yourself are your best student by telling people of what you have just learned.
This is what I learned today on creating a great working place:
1. The work is challenging and interesting
2. There is a high level of trust and support
Demonstrated when the managers do not criticize people for making mistakes.
3. People felt that they were in the know.
Companies that have wide open communication in all directions and everybody feels they were active participants in every thing that was going on.
4. Employees feel that their boss care about them as a person.
Boss practices consideration, courtesy, and kindness at all times
5. Employees know exactly what they were suppose to do, and to what standard and to what time
6. Employees feel that there are opportunities for advancement based on
hard work and excellent performance rather than on politics and
personalities.
Ultimately a great working place is where the people feel terrific about themselves, a high morale environment where people are enthusiastic about coming to work, a boss that is positive supportive and at the same time result oriented and of course a place where everybody can laugh together.Great morale, high productivity, high levels of creativity and a loyal staff.
