The importance of having a good performance is well debated
across various platforms and even in companies from different backgrounds; the
complete understanding of having progressive performance holds the same value.
However, many companies and employees fail to realize the essential factors
that influence the overall performance of an employee finally contributing to
the overall performance of the business.
Of the many general and known factors that contribute
positively to an employee’s performance, motivation holds the utmost importance
and is an intangible factor that can go a long way. Motivation can come in
various forms and through various sources however many employees lack the attitude
to take motivation in their stride positively. Having clarity of individual and
business goals and objectives will add a huge momentum for an employee to do
better and contribute to the overall performance. The company needs to be clear
of the goals and the objectives for the current situation and future prospects
for ensuring a seamless atmosphere at the workplace.
Leadership and team building again are the important
influencing elements where an employee forms trust with his peers and a sense
of confidence is imparted. Arguably, an employee performs better in situations
where he feels confident, supervised and led with a direction. However, this
concept is not well executed in many organizations due to various factors
involving ego, unfavorable working atmosphere, unsorted business hierarchy etc.
Various organizational policies also go a long way in
influencing and motivating the employees and giving them a sense of oneness and
integrity. For example, a good HR practice which may involve handling
grievances or addressing an individual or team issue. Having good policies and
rules regarding employee safety and provisions to manage the same gains the
trust of the employee and considerable makes the working environment favorable.
While many companies aim to practice such measures to ensure
employee satisfaction which directly leads to better performance, be it any
function; yet few fail to attain the objective.
