Top 8 Stress Generators at Work Places
How to motivate and inspire employees to do great things? How to
keep them happy and get the most out of them? These are the
basic questions that run in the minds of most employers. But in
their frenzy to motivate and inspire employees they do a grave
mistake and loose most valuable ones to their competitors.
Discussed below are a few of these mistakes that can increase stress among employees:
1.) Motivating Using Awards
The award system is out. It's really stupid and can create a
biased atmosphere in the office. In addition not everyone likes
to get awards in front of their colleagues, being aware of the
fact that this might actually create a kind of separation
between him and others. Awarding one always means that you are
being biased towards others. So never award employees for their
performance. Instead, sending mails of appreciation, encouraging
them in person is a better idea. Anything monetary is not
recommended.
2.) Celebrating Birthdays
Well, not for all, but most men don't like to be the center of
attraction for the entire day. The very thought of this
happening can make them go dull at work for the whole month
during which his birthday is about to arrive. In addition
birthdays are personal affairs and not many like it made public.
If the rules of the office makes it compulsory to celebrate
birthdays, most employees are likely to get insecure. Birthdays
are personal affairs and employers should never force them on
their employees.
3.) Forced Partying
Not everyone likes to party. But not many will complain if
there are no parties organized from the side of their office.
People can always party with their friends and relatives if they
are party oriented. Organizing parties in the office is a real
bad idea and can create fear psychosis among many who don't like
such atmospheres. Unfortunately in most cases people who deter
parties are the ones who work the best.
4.) Unnecessary Meetings
Meetings are required, but unnecessary meetings which are held
just for the sake of it are bad. Such meetings are a waste of
time and can create a kind of atmosphere in the office where
employees spend more time thinking about what to speak and what
issues to take up in the meeting rather than concentrate on
their jobs.
5.) Presentations and Seminars
Unless really required, asking employees to take presentations
and seminars is a real bad idea. Almost 80% of human beings
don't like to take seminars and being forced to do so will only
give them more reason to change jobs.
6.) Getting too personal
Don't get too personal to employees and never try to create a
kind of home away from home atmosphere in the office. There
cannot be one big happy family in case of an office. The office
is a professional place where people come to work cause they
want to earn a decent living. Most employees do not consider the
office anymore than a workplace and don't want to consider it
anything more than that. So encouraging employees to get too
personal towards each other through
interactions/partying/outings/team games etc. is really not a
good idea.
7.) Internal and External Trainings
Unnecessary trainings especially those that are not work
related are definitely a big no. No one (except for certain
girls may be) like these kinds of trainings. Trainings related
to team building, leadership, time management, public speaking,
interaction etc. are stupid and should never be encouraged. One
thing that management of any company should understand is that
not everyone is same and not everyone can be trained to change
their character. The management should learn to accept employees
as they are instead of imposing things on them. If the job
demands these qualities, the employees should have been selected
in the right way (Some extroverted girls and boys will do). You
cannot generate sugar, spice and everything nice in a single
employee.
8.) Dress Codes
Having a formal dress code for some days and casual for others
is not recommended in the least. This actually plays games with
the mentalities of employees in a major way. It's better to
select between the either of them and stick to it.
If you are one of the lucky employers who has read this article,
make sure to stop any of these activities immediately if you are
doing them already.
