A Checklist of Job Enrichment Possibilities for organization
A Checklist of Job Enrichment Possibilities
? Develop teams. Self-directed work groups can make a lot of their own decisions. They can redistribute work, have greater work variety, team members learn more and get involved on projects through to completion.
? Engage the client. It is more effective engaging real people and understand their problems & needs rather than responding only to problems as they occur.
Assign employee to particular job make him accountable for the client, either from inside or outside the organization. It’s not surprising how many employees never see their clients.
? Work Rotation. New responsibilities and greater variety can help an employee feel challenged and valued. Employees can acquire important new skills that strengthen the workforce. It isn’t difficult to implement rotational assignments. You suggest the idea and let your employees develop the “who” and “how” part; you’ll be surprised at their expertise in making it happen smoothly.
? Increase feedback. In addition to annual reviews, find ways to perform peer review and client review opportunities. Employees want to know about their performance, and continual two way feedback allows them to be their own quality-control agents.
? Increase participation opportunities. Employees are empowered and motivated when they take part in decisions that have an impact on their work or ways to organize work and schedules. Involvement enables employees to see the big picture and allows them to make meaningful contribution.
? Develop creativity. Undiscovered or non-utilized creativity lost in the drain. If employees lose the ability to contribute their best ideas, they simply feel unmotivated and disengaged. You can help by recognizing and rewarding creative ideas, by giving employees the autonomy and resources to create, and by challenging employees with new assignments and learning.
? Mentor someone. Mentoring another person is motivational for many. If an employee has a particular niche or specialty and enjoys sharing this knowledge/expertise, you have a perfect win-win situation.
