Ever feel like everyone is not onboard with something? When all team members are not motivated to stay on the same page, it can be the most frustrating thing for employers or team leaders. Here are some tips and tricks to convince everyone to "buy in" to the same idea.
1. Practice Makes Perfect: If you're trying to implement a system or set of actions, remember to continually demonstrate the preferred way. Having everyone practice the correct way of something will ingrain best practices.
2. Show, don't Tell: Have supervisors, team leaders and those leading others be models of good behavior. It's important that everyone participates, not just entry-level employees.
3. Communication is a Two-Way Street: Remember to keep open channels of communication. If a team member is doing something wrong, remind them of end goals or best practices in a professional manner. On the flip side, keep an open mind when it comes to critiques of the system. If an employee approaches you with a concern or a different way of doing things, don't take offense. Take it into consideration
Whether you're trying to implement new safety systems, ways of maintaining records or a new office culture, it's important to follow through. Don't launch a new system and fail to maintain it.
