Workplace excellence is imperative for the exponential growth of an organization. It is an aspect of the business which usually stays undefined and hence non measurable and illusive to the entrepreneur. An attempt at defining workplace excellence would be “Performing the functions of the business in a manner in which it exceeds the expectations”.
Here are 8 proven strategies for achieving workplace excellence
A Compelling Positive Vision and clear Goals
Employees should see a positive compelling vision in which they should be able to identify their role and the impact of their roles on the success and failure of the organization
Communicating the Right Information at the Right Time
Transparency in an organization is very essential. Conveying the right information is very important because “Half information is more dangerous than no information”
Hiring the right employees and managers
Hire people who are right for your organization not the good people. When you hire right people instead of good people you are not just looking at skills but whether they can fit in with your culture
Making Accountability count
Most tasks are delayed not because of lack in planning or resources but because of lack of accountability towards the tasks undertaken. Accountability is the control which the employee keeps on himself by promising to complete the tasks with specified parameters at pre decided time
Focus on Innovation and Continuous Improvement
Focusing on innovation paves the way for brilliant and creative candidates drive to you while your existing employees are happy at your organization.
Teamwork : We are one team

Celebration : Recognizing and Rewarding the highest achievers
