Adherence to the Idea of People First in Improving Work Efficiency

As Workstem contacted more companies for business purposes in recent years, we found that employers and HRs always emphasize the importance of “people-oriented”, “boundary” and “rules” in management of the company.

It is understandable that those terms we mentioned above will regulate the responsibilities of different employees, however, if we are too obsessed with the so-called “rules” it will bring the opposite effect toward the company. More specifically, employees in this kind of environment will breed their negative sentiment which leads to lower productivity in their work.

There were employees complaining that the approval processes are too complicated that it takes so long to approve one day of no pay leave, for example. Imagine that if employees’ works in this kind of fostered environment, it will highly likely to make them feel like the rules need to go first all the time and the profit of the company as well as employees’ interests are not priorities, to the point where it could be ignored sometimes.

The sustainable operation and long-term development of enterprises are inseparable from the foundation, which is the joint cooperation of “people”. When formulating “rules”, we should take “human nature” as the consideration standard, so that employees can have a sense of identity with the objectives of the enterprise and a sense of belonging to the company. In this case, performance growth is only a natural result. So how to realize the personnel management mentioned above and how to improve work efficiency in the enterprise? This article will give a detailed answer to you.

The value of “People” is always a priority in the corporate culture

To turn a scattered group into a team, make the similar belief and goal could be carried out within the enterprise, and to promote the mutual understanding of the team on the enterprise’s values. In this way, the company’s performance could not be improved without a decisive factor, which was the influence of the corporate culture.

According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, when people’s lower needs are met, they will involuntarily meet and realize higher-level needs. Similarly, if the employer or HR wants to carry out efficient personnel management, it can correspond to different levels in Maslow’s hierarchy of  needs theory and integrate people-oriented corporate culture elements.

For example, under the guidance of “self actualization”, enterprises should pay attention to objectives, reward employees’ performance, and affirm and appreciate employees’ achievements; According to “self-esteem”, flexible rules should be considered in the enterprise, and employees should be authorized in some cases; Similarly, according to the “love/belongings”, employers and supervisors should communicate with employees in a regular basis.

I still remember a story about my grandpa shared by my parents. He used to work so hard in a company for more than ten years, however, what he had done had never been seen or valued by his manager. He was finally being praised and rewarded by his boss one day after the position of manager had changed one time which made him finally feel that his work was affirmed and it doubled his sense of identity with the enterprise. In the next few years, my grandpa made even more brilliant achievements for the company.

In a word, when an employee is working while improving himself in the workplace, he still needs more care in different aspects. Like sometimes you just greet the employee kindly, or when the employee obtains the stage results, you would not be stingy with praise and rewards, these things, which were all the accumulation of the team work. In other words, if the enterprise’s employers and managers set an example, the performance and work efficiency would naturally be improved.
