Companies that intend to be competitive in today’s world must take into account that the main asset they have is the people who work in them. It does not matter if it is a traditional company or one dedicated to new technologies, people will always be the basis of companies and this is so because it is the people who contribute their effort to the day-to-day of the company and are the main ones drivers of changes in business organization. Companies must take care of their staff so that they feel driven at all times to give the best of themselves and this only occurs when people are comfortable within the organization to which they belong.

Companies must generate enough trust in people so that they are not reluctant to the changes that may occur within it and, instead, feel driven to contribute their grain of sand to any improvement process that may arise within of the company.

Companies must always try to develop the talent of the people who work there, so that they feel fulfilled and that talent redounds to the benefit of the company itself and does not end up migrating to another company where that person believes that they can be more valued or treated better.

That is why good practices for personnel are so important within an organization. Below we are going to propose some good practices so that people feel better treated in companies.

1. Reconcile

Establishing conciliation measures to maintain a balance between work and personal life, making schedules more flexible, granting permits to attend to personal or family needs when necessary and taking into account the socio-family situation of each person is something fundamental to improve the satisfaction of a company’s staff.  

2. Motivate staff

Encourage staff, praise their work well done and, in general, reinforce all aspects that can improve their satisfaction, understanding that this is not based only on material facts such as salary or job category, it is something basic for the success of the staff and the company you work for.

3. Appreciate the older staff and encourage the newer

Companies must value the experience of the most veteran personnel and take advantage of it so that these personnel are involved with the most recent in the company, helping them to integrate into it and to be a participant in the corporate culture. Never ignore the contributions of newcomers simply because they are.

4. Develop the entrepreneurial spirit of the staff

We must take advantage of the talent of each person to put them in the job that best allows them to develop that talent, enhance creativity and, likewise, promote the necessary climate of trust so that people who work in a company feel driven to communicate all those ideas or proposals for improvement that may arise at any given time.

5. Pay attention to staff health

Taking care of the ergonomics of workplaces and promoting healthy habits at work (breaks, taking care of visual health, preventing stress, promoting good postural habits) is essential since it has been shown that physical condition is closely related to the emotional state of person.

6. Promote equity

Promote the spirit of companionship and avoid “comparative grievances” through a simple formula: being impartial and, above all, transparent when making decisions that may affect the working conditions of the staff. Listen to everyone equally so that no one can feel undervalued. All opinions matter, all opinions matter.

7. Promote continuous training of staff

Be aware of the training needs of the company’s personnel and facilitate that it can take the necessary courses to retrain professionally without this implying an additional workload.

8. Apply new work methodologies

Getting company staff to always see the application of new technologies and methodologies as something that will lead to an improvement in their performance and performance and, therefore, in their “workload”, it is necessary to take into account that people They are always reluctant to change and therefore it is necessary to demonstrate that these new methodologies are not only intended to increase the company’s profits but also to “make life easier”.

9. Give value to rest times

Make breaks and rest times also “productive” by allowing several colleagues to share that rest time to relax and communicate, share impressions and ideas around a coffee without feeling “watched” or “controlled”.

10. Do activities outside of work

That the much talked about “Christmas Dinner” is not the only occasion in which the staff of a company can be together to share a time of leisure and recreation. Carrying out after-hours activities and work space in which everyone can participate (excursions, cultural visits) will help to foster team spirit, camaraderie and, therefore, company.
