3 Strategies to get more from your people

Are you frustrated with the lack of effort your people put out?
Do you want to know how to get them to do GREAT work?
You aren’t alone. Did you know: 50% of workers put in enough effort to keep their jobs; and 84% say they could do better! Maybe you’ve been one of them in the past or even right now. You know you have more in you to give. We bet that your employees do as well.

You can't change what is going on in your workplace if you haven’t identified what is going on. So start with assessing the state of your workplace. You need to know: How bad is your culture? Or how good is it?

Workplaces fall along a continuum - one that ranges from toxic to tolerable to magnetic. Your workplace and every other workplace has a specific culture - a feel to it; an impression that it leaves. Your workplace has a certain intangible quality that makes something about it distinct and decidedly different, but difficult to define or describe.

You know whether you like it or not, want to be there or run away quickly. ​​And that culture isn’t static. It can be toxic, tolerable and magnetic all in one day.

For more help assessing where you and your team land on the workplace continuum, check out the details on the workplace continuum here.

To help you move along the continuum, wanted to share these 3 Strategies with you.
