Do you want a highly motivated team who don’t take time off work, don’t keep looking for other jobs and make a positive contribution to your business? If the answer is “yes,” then there are three steps you need to take with each member of your team.

·         Spend some quality time:

I didn’t say “quantity time” I said “quality time.” One or two minutes of quality time on a regular basis are far more productive than a one hour review every year. You need to get to know each member of your team better and they need to get to know you. This will help you build a positive relationship with each team member. You’ll gain a much better understanding of them and how they’re handling the job. It will also give the impression that you care about the individual and show that you’re there to help with problems both personal and business. Spending quality time will encourage opinions and ideas to flow from them and allows you to explain the company’s mission. It gives them a feeling of being in on things which is a huge motivator. It will also help you build an “early warning system” of any
problems both business and personal. Finally, it builds team spirit and morale.

·         Give feedback and coach:

You need to regularly tell each member of your team when they’re doing well and when not so well.  I read some recent research that suggested 65% of employees in the US received no recognition at work in the past year. My experience tells me that it’s much the same throughout the world and much worse in some countries. Some managers still believe – “why should I praise people when they’re only doing what they’re paid to do.” If you want a happy and motivated team then you need to tell them when they’re doing well. It’s also important to tell people when they’re not performing well. There are too many managers who either
ignore poor behavior or come down on the person like a ton of bricks.

·         Be a believer:

We’re now getting into the area of “Empowerment” which was first introduced in the 1980’s and became a bit of a management buzzword. However, I believe that it’s one of the
most promising but least understood concepts in team motivation today. I’m a fairly down to earth practical sort of person (probably comes from my engineering background). I’m not big
into motivation theories unless I can see the benefits for me – I see a great deal of benefit for managers and team leaders in Empowerment.

Empowerment is about utilizing the knowledge, skill, experience and motivation power that’s already within your people.  The majority of people in teams and organizations throughout the world are severely underutilized. Your team has probably more to offer in terms of skill, knowledge and experience.

Put this to the test right away – implement these steps, motivate your team and achieve your business goals.

Increase your Marketing Options with Joint Ventures

February 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Yes, you did read the title correctly. To grow your company’s revenues, you should give away your products. The caveat is that the numbers of products you give away are minimal – but the exposure you receive in return is exponential. In fact, work together with several other joint venture partners, and your benefits increase tenfold.

Esource Global provides a wide range of services. The fields we have ventured into and provided resources for are the following:

·         Management Recruitment.

·         Company Incorporation and Domiciliation.

·         Real Estate Advisory.

·         Payroll Services.

·         Accounting and Taxation Services.

·         Management and IT consulting.

·         Legal Services.

Click here to know more about our management services.

http://www.esourceglobal.com/mng_con.asp

The list of all the joint venture benefits is quite extensive, and the advantages themselves would comprise an entire article. I have written about the tangible and residual benefits associated with joint ventures previously, but as a small recap:

·         Increase your company’s credibility through your affiliation with a reputable business.

·         Grow your potential client list with quality leads.

·         Expand your product offerings, thus boosting your revenues without any inventory or investment on your part.

·         Obtain greater market exposure, without any increased advertising costs.

Now, it is time to take the benefits of joint ventures and implement them with a giveaway campaign, with the management steps highlighted below:

·         Increase exposure with joint ventures:

As businesses ranging from sole proprietorships to Fortune 500 companies have realized, joint ventures are a powerful marketing strategy that significantly increases exposure – without proportional increases in your budget cost. With a little effort, your business can earn the benefits of joint ventures, which can produce greater results than any traditional advertising campaign.

·         Managing a giveaway joint venture:

One of the most effective joint venture campaigns is embarking on a giveaway. Several joint venture partners work together, giving away a wide array of their products and services. When the joint venture partnerships put their promotional efforts together, the giveaway event obtains more exposure – and thus, each partner benefits from increased marketing. The powerful foundation of a joint venture giveaway campaign is that people love “free stuff.” The hundreds of thousands of websites strictly dedicated to “free stuff” is evidence of the appeal of complimentary items. Thus, when you partner together in a joint venture, your business capitalizes upon the appeal of “freebies” – which will ultimately build your client list.

Each time consumers want a free item, they must enter in their contact information – giving you additional customers to add to your prospective list. The key is that the joint venture partners must have customer base synergies, as you want to ensure that the client list will be useful to all parties involved. Remember, choosing your joint venture partners is the core foundation for your giveaway promotion’s success. Each customer who views the giveaway promotion will instantly associate you with your joint venture partners – and thus, form an impression about your company. However, with the proper partnerships, your business can flourish from the increased exposure – and with a joint venture partnership, giving away your product results in a significant increase in sales.

Esource Global is very clear about its objectives and this has enabled us to reach heights that have given a commanding position in the industry. We emphasize a lot on highest ethical standards to be maintained in all our offices. Special attention is given regarding employment and equal opportunities. We are a member firm of AESC and abide by its laws. Above this we have our own set of ethics strictly followed by Esource Global at all the times.

Appraisals: How to Appreciate them

February 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Appraisals have a pretty bad reputation in many organizations. Managers dread having to give them and employees hate having to take them. But by simply focusing on 7 high-value components of appraisals, you can turn them into one of the most important activities you perform… and start to love them.

·         Re-state the key areas:

Appraisals give managers and employees the chance to re-state the key result areas of the job. These are, quite simply, what people are paid for. For a manager, they might be: Production; Quality; Costs; Safety; Staff. For an engineer, they might be Repair; Maintenance; Installation; Improvements. An appraisal is like the follow-up to a recruitment interview. Just as the recruitment interview at the start of employment looks at the key areas of a job and the person’s skills in these areas, so the appraisal at regular intervals throughout employment looks at how key areas have changed and whether the employee’s skills need to change with them.

·         Check how they’re doing:

Taking time out to review past performance is a necessary step in making plans for the future. Instead of continuing as before, review enables us to stop, think and re-assess. It should be part of any management process. Professor Hal Leavitt, of Chicago University, says that performance improves in relation to the amount and accuracy of feedback received, whether good or bad. When you don’t know how well you’re doing, you often assume the worst, your confidence drops and down goes your performance.
“The golfer who doesn’t count his shots is only there for the walk.

·         Exchange News: Appraisals that are timed carefully to fit in with the organization’s business cycle can use the appraisal interview to exchange information with individuals. This could be about how the organization has been performing in the period of the review and how it hopes to do in the future, significant changes that may affect the organization and individuals, opportunities for the organization in the market place, detailed plans that affect the employee.
Exchanging information about the organization and the part employees play in it has both practical and motivational value.

·         Recognize good work:

Managers often spend an inordinate amount of time dealing with problems and problem staff. Appraisals allow them to re-dress the balance and recognize the quiet heroes in their team. To find the quiet heroes on your team, ask yourself…
Who is rarely absent?
Who never says “No”?
Who enjoys pressure?
Who delivers on time?
Who takes up the slack?
Who doesn’t pester for help?
Who is so unassuming you forget they’re there?
Who quietly lends others a hand?
Who smoothes conflicts and builds morale?
Who carries on even when the boss is not around?
Who shuns the limelight?
Who never takes the credit?

·         Plan the future:

If review follows action in the management cycle, then new plans should follow review. The plans made at the end of a performance appraisal can include…
• plans for immediate action by either the manager or employee
• problem-solving plans to deal with blocks to progress
• project plans based on areas the employee wants to develop
• development plans based on identified potential
• career plans based on matching employee development and organizational opportunities
• lifetime plans.
Appraisal can be the spark that ignites enthusiasm for what is possible. It is what the appraising manager leaves in his or her wake.
For employees, appraisals are big events in their lives. It is the one time in the year when they are center-stage. Practise these steps and you will make their day a red-letter one.

Can’t get the right staff: Read Ahead!

February 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Most managers and business owners have been stuck at some point in their careers with an employee from hell, a difficult person who brings havoc to work with them. They take up time; they can sabotage work and cost you money. Moreover and they can affect team morale, dragging their performance down and causing good staff to get fed up and leave.

Some bosses have classified their problem people and among the worst are:

  • Moaners: If you want to give great customer service how will this person help?
  • Liars: Can you trust them with your property?
  • Bullies: They don’t just scare the staff: customers will run a mile from them. Sometimes the boss is even scared.
  • Addicts: Drink, drugs, gambling – take your pick. Whatever their weakness, they are Trouble with a capital T.
  • Lovers: They use the workplace as a free dating agency. It can be fine while romance is blossoming but when the honeymoon’s over the fallout will spill over at work, sometimes with violent results.
  • Hypochondriacs: They are never there when you need them.
  • Gossips: They can cause backbiting in the most harmonious team. Good people will get tired of them and leave.

    Do these ring any bells? Are you worried about employing the next member of staff? Well read on and you will find out what you can do……

    There are lots of things you can do to improve the odds of getting an effective person to fill your next vacancy. A sound job specification is particularly important, and that’s not just HR-speak. This will help avoid complaints of discrimination and help you select suitable people who can develop into valuable assets for the organization rather than difficult employees. Write a short job specification – this describes the skills and experience needed to do the job well. Write this up for the job and you will have a set of requirements against which you can filter the applications and decide who to interview. You can include anything that relates to the job – for example Experience, Training, Special Knowledge, Adaptability and Disposition.

    So how do you find the right person? Just be practical – put a small ad in the right advertising medium: often one of the local papers. But also offer it to the local Job centre, and tell all your staff that the job is open. There’s no reason not to interview a friend or relative of an existing member of staff, if they meet the basic job requirements. Are there any other free outlets to advertise the job? Set a closing date and interview date(s) when you advertise. This lets the applicant know when they might be asked to an interview, and can save a lot of time in dealing with enquiries.

    So you’ve designed a clear, simple job spec, you’ve told everyone that you’re looking for someone good, and now just wait for that flood of applicants to beat a path to your door.

How to Hire like the Fortune 500s

February 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

A recent Research study revealed 94% of Fortune 500 companies now hire employees online, a stark contrast from 1998, when only 29% of them were doing the same. If you own or manage a small business, you must know that the vast majority of your fiercest competitors are now spending less time and less effort on recruitment. And that leaves them with more time to, simply put, get a leg up on you.

Sure, it sounds like a threat. But isn’t lack of technology an inevitable drawback for most small businesses? Absolutely not. Maybe 10, even 5 years ago. But not today…

Esource Global is a management recruitment agency from India. Posting information on job boards and running ads may be a good way to initiate the quest for recruits, and generally will provide a good number of responses, but these methods carry no assurance of quality.

With the vast number of employment sites on the web and newspapers in circulation, a company cannot always be confident thst they are reaching the right audience. Our industry focused search specialists are able to cut through the mire of mediocrity and immaterial resumes to bring you the most elite performers in their respective fields. Whichever industry you are in, there will be someone at executive search that specializes in your line of work, with the educational credentials and real world experience to support it.

http://www.esourceglobal.com/mng_rec.asp

Every time we do market research with small businesses, we hear three top reasons why the business has not yet implemented an online hiring solution, in which job candidates apply online:

1. The cost is too high
2. They lack the technological know-how
3. They believe setting up a recruitment software would take longer than just doing it the old-fashioned way

Those are all valid concerns, considering most small businesses operate on a tight budget and without an in-house IT department.

Business software developers are now recognizing the importance of SMBs and designing employee recruitment software that caters to the specific budgetary and technological needs of small business.

Esource Global provides a wide range of services including Management recruitment, Company Incorporation and Domiciliation, Accounting & Taxation Services, Payroll services, Management & IT Consultancy and Legal services. The fields we have ventured into and provided resources are the following-

It’s important to do your research and find the technology that’s the best fit for your company.

·         Ease of technology:

Our technology is really easy-to-use, even if you are a computer novice.
The best way to find this out is by trying the product yourself. We offer free trials of our products, which is absolutely risk free. Keeping in mind question 1, make sure the trial has no hidden charges. Also try out the front-end application process to make sure it’s really going to be easy when your job candidates apply online.

·        The product:

What does this product do? What doesn’t it do? We not only offer the online job posting functionality but also focus on the back-end, like collecting resumes, organizing, filtering and searching employees, scheduling interviews, etc. When looking for a program that takes care of the back-end, you can be sure that the Esource Global will also be able to help you with the posting functionality, whether you’re putting up a poster on your store window, running an ad in the local paper or posting on job websites.

·         Service:

Since most small businesses do not have an IT department, one of the most important questions to ask here is what kind of service will you get. Will you get email support? Phone support? Online Live Help? Will you be speaking to a real business person who knows about the specific challenges you’re facing, or to someone who only knows the tech aspects of the program? Esource Global provides you with all the above functionalities.

Remember it’s your company’s efficiency that’s at stake here, so don’t be afraid to ask questions or request a free trial. Hiring online may sound like something only fit for the big guys, but remember this is the 21st century, which means technology and small business are the most important aspects of our economy.

Options for setting up an intranet

February 9, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The traditional approach to implementing an intranet is to purchase a software package, modify it for your needs, and install it on your system. Over the past few years, another option has grown in popularity – the implementation of a web-based solution.

    • Weekly/Monthly Analytics Analysis Calls

Click here to know more about our IT consulting services.http://www.esourceglobal.com/mng_con.aspAs you consider the choice between installed software and a web-based intranet, here are some considerations:

1. The most important requirement of any intranet is that everyone uses it.

To assure broad-based participation, the intranet must be easy to implement, simple to use, cost-effective to maintain, and offer each individual user the power to post, access and use content in a way that serves their specific needs. In short, the intranet must have value to everyone.

Our web-based intranets are designed around this concept. The interface and navigation are consistent with their use of the web – an environment in which they feel in control, using familiar tools.

In contrast, the business world is littered with countless elegant and feature-rich software based intranets that have failed. Why? Because they represented an alien environment into which the user was expected to venture. Few employees had the time or the interest or courage to enter, rendering the intranet impotent, with the powerful tools unused.

This is the plight of traditional, out-of-the-box software solutions. Unlike web-based intranets, they force users into a constrained environment requiring in-depth training, built around rules designed for the group, rather than the individual.

2. Software intranets have unpredictable costs in time, attention and money.

Software based solutions require extensive internal support. The ongoing expense in both staff time and money takes the focus of your IT group away from mission-critical tasks.

System integration, Implementation, maintenance, technology upgrades, training and user support are all on-going tasks that represent a significant, recurring investment. The cost can be substantial, far exceeding your initial license cost and monthly fee.

3. Web-based intranets offer a predictable cost and cutting-edge technology.

Most web-based solutions offer a fixed monthly fee that covers all maintenance, technology upgrades, training and user support. The costs are predictable, the technology evolutionary, and it’s all done with minimal involvement of your IT staff.

It’s for these reasons that companies needing broad-based participation in a changing environment are choosing web-based intranets over traditional software solutions.

Esource Global provides extensive information and services on the use of intranet software and extranet software for online and offline collaboration.
