10 Ways to Get Employees Focused On the Bottom Line
Let your employees evaluate you to see if what you’re doing is really helping them. When your company’s numbers aren’t great, your first thought is to point the finger at employees. What if you, also, are a source of the problem? Perhaps there are things you’re doing that you think are helping employees when in reality they aren’t. Employee evaluations can be a real eye-opener. Create an evaluation form that employees can fill out anonymously. “We see it all the time in organizations,” says Giannetto. “CEOs who think they are king, who are unwilling to take a look at what they are doing that is hurting their company more than helping. … If CEOs are still bogging employees down with ineffective meetings and numbers that don’t mean anything to them, problems will continue. There’s no better way to find out what you are doing wrong than by asking those your actions affect the most—your employees.”
