The art of empowering and retaining employees
Tips for managers and entrepreneurs
Good employees are not easy to find. Unfortunately, many professionally well-qualified people lack the soft skills to deal with colleagues and customers. And if you have them, there are other challenges.
Many employees have never learned to organise themselves and their work well. Per week loses The average employee spends eight hours searching. Eight hours that you pay for!
Here helps Training for soft skills or work organisation. Large companies often have their own training department or an HR department that organises training courses.
Small and medium-sized companies can also effectively develop their employees - even for free or at low cost.
Books
Very classic - the paper ones.
Buy a range of books on topics that will empower your employees and let them choose.
My tip
Once a quarter, fill a basket with helpful books that employees can help themselves to. This alone shows that you are generous and interested in the well-being of your team.
Or give away helpful books on the challenges that an employee is struggling with.
Special - the Quadros:
I have the Quadro format which divides each topic into 28 short chapters. The Quadros cost just €5.80 - a small investment to empower people.
"The nice thing about the Quadros is that they are small, but so practice-orientated that you can really get a lot out of them."- Maria B.
The Quadros are available on topics such as:
Webinars and courses
SAM - mastering your work - shows you the best strategies in a nutshell.
Most webinars are 30 - 90 minutes and are available either free of charge or for a small fee. You get a brief insight into a topic. Some webinars are not worth the time you invest in them, but many offer really practical strategies that will help you get ahead.

Coaching
People sometimes get in their own way. Experience shows that a single hour of professional counselling is often enough. Coaching or a few to untie an inner knot and move people forward.
I have often found that coaching customers are only one hour of coaching are more relaxed, can cope better with stress and get to grips with their work more efficiently.
Advancing and developing people doesn't have to be about money. Even with a tight budget, you can support and strengthen your employees.
