At KB Staffing, we take an active interest in the success of our workers and our clients, but we do so without micromanaging anyone. As an expert staffing service, we know workers need effective leadership, but micromanaging can be counterproductive.
The Detrimental Effects of Micromanagement
When supervising a diverse workforce, there may be a temptation to dictate exactly how each person should perform their job duties. We at KB Staffing have seen how ineffective this approach can be. In fact, micromanaging employees can do more harm than good. Instead, the following strategies can be used to empower workers.
- Communicate expectations. Establish what the goals are for your company and for your workers. Give them the tools and resources they need to succeed. Then trust their expertise and capabilities to get the job done right.
- Maintain open dialogue. Be accessible to workers when they have questions or concerns. Accept feedback and suggestions, and implement new procedures as suggested when appropriate. Allow employees to be actively engaged in decisions for the team.
- Create opportunities for career advancement. When possible, promote from within the ranks. Offer skill-building sessions and encourage continuous learning and professional development. Workers will be more satisfied working for your company when they know they work toward their own goals there.
- Focus on results. Don’t get lost in the details of processes and procedures. Keep an eye on the big picture. That doesn’t mean you should encourage dangerous or unethical shortcuts, just remember that there is usually more than one way to do a job well.
- Encourage collaboration. Let employees work together on team goals instead of dividing everyone up to do specific tasks on their own. Foster a team approach to getting work done.
