Improving staff productivity and job profitability
WITH MARK LLOYDBOTTOM
All your assets go home at night. But, having interviewed over 500 managers and partners I know that many of staff members are demotivated and even unfulfilled. Yet, this is a truly great profession we are members of, and our clients see us as their trusted business advisor, don’t they?
In my formative years I was no great exponent of good staff management – I have learnt to do this the hard way having employed over 250 people in my varying businesses.
What I share in this Module is born out of experience of seeking to find better ways to communicate, manage and motivate staff. Some things come naturally to me – managing people teams did not in my early days of manging my accountancy business.
This Module highlights some really impactful strategies that will enable you and your team to more cost effectively manage your work. With staff costs ever-increasing it is mission critical to use the time they are working in the best possible way. It is also important to do all you can to appreciate and motivate your team so that they are happy and fulfilled.
