How Can I Motivate My Team to Produce More?

By Colin Dovey

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy 


There are two widely divergent schools of thought when it comes to comes to how work teams and the individuals in the team can be optimally motivated to give it their best shot, not just once or twice, but all the time, and consistently:
The contention that motivation must come from within
Here, we are regularly told that no manager on earth motivate his staff from above and get them to perform at an optimum level - they maintain that all motivation must ultimately come from within.
Output and performance is directly related to financial and tangible rewards
There is a strong culture in primarily sales-focused companies to reward their front-line sales executives by way of monetary incentives which can be directly related to their measured against their sales performance in the field.
Regrettably, these dollar-based incentives are usually made on an individual basis, with the star performer most often coming off best. On the face of it, one could assume that there is little inherently wrong with this approach. But what happens in practice belies this, as it often deteriorates into an every man for himself situation, and even a dog eat dog scenario.
The unintended consequences are often yet further disharmony and division permeating, first the sales staff bickering over whose territory is whose and this then trickles on to the support staff who can be justifiably peeved that they deserve a proportional slice of the cheesecake.
Beyond doubt is that every one likes to be at the receiving end of some form of recognition, especially extra cash. From a managerial perspective, it always makes good business sense to bolster a desired performance level with an appropriate reward. Across a wide spectrum of business models it is accepted that rewards play an important part in job performance, motivation and productivity.
The royal road to recognition of employee achievement, properly handled, can make your workplace a haven for high productivity, if you take the trouble to follow some simple guidelines which have been shown to work at the coal face.
The formula must be: Performance = Reward
  • The company incentive scheme can only be effective and have real meaning if employees can easily draw a parallel between what lands up in their back pocket related to actual job performance.
  • The criteria used for the assessment of rewards must always be totally transparent, and also easy to understand at every level. Length of service should not be a factor in an incentive-based reward scheme.The reward or bonus should be directly related to the financial benefit - the bottom line of the company
Ensure balance and congruence in the scheme by resorting to company-wide consultation
  • Establish a forum of innovatively minded managers, and then rope in past, and good performers to oversee incentive plans. Make sure the forum does not get bogged down, by ensuring that you periodically introduce new blood into the team.
  • Bottom line: Scheme benefits must reach every segment of the organisation, and a t every level across the board. You cannot afford to exclude anybody from top executives to the excavator operator. Ignore him at your peril, as he will dig the hole you fall into! Avoid paying strictly time-related benefits, such as the traditional end-of-year bonus. This type of incentive loses its impact when employees just expect it to be paid, irrespective of their level of performance.
  • Adopt a two-pronged payment approach by rewarding both individual and team performance. This will serve to ensure that you get a good team spirit, and then stellar individual performance.
  • Encourage managers to acknowledge staff and team performance in writing, and to document accomplishments in a specific way.
  • Insist on input from top managers to ensure that their participation will encourage their enthusiasm for any performance output.
Identify any rewards that your staff will prize
  • The saying goes, somewhat mischievously perhaps that everybody has their price. The fact is though, any incentive scheme must provide rewards that are valued by members of your staff. Some credible research has shown that they are generally in the following bracket, in order of importance:

  • A good income, and the opportunity to advance within the organisation
  • Being paid on merit, emanating from inherent and acquired skills
  • The opportunity to work in a creative and challenging environment with concomitant financial rewards and incentives.
  • Being able to participate in meaningful decision-making, which encourages loyalty to the objectives of the organisation.
  • Attractive fringe benefits, including paid medical aid, pension and share options
Extra-curricular incentives
There are many creative ways of rewarding staff when related to excellence, which can further accelerate their performance, such as:
  • Tickets to sought-after sporting events, and,
  • Shares and access to the company gym
  • Wall plaques and certificates
  • A weekend in the company seaside cottage.
  • A visit to a Wine farm, including samples to take home
  • Team conferences at a game ranch.
  • Overseas research trip
  • An upmarket restaurant dinner.
You will discover that this sort of variety is appreciated by most staff (you always get the cynics) if it is awarded judiciously for due performance. Not just handed out like sweets.
Act quickly, don't ever dilly-dally
When performance results are made available (and make sure it is done without delay) respond with rewards as soon as possible. People will respond accordingly
Don't be shy about making it all public
Find a way to make a big deal out of excellent performance - but always keep it real: Artificial functions are always a major put-off. Sincerity will win the day in the form of a brief presentation during the day - not waiting for when people need to get home in the traffic, and to their families. Be flexible - it will pay YOU huge dividends.

Leaders Are Created

By Joaquin Duenas

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

Being a leader takes up time, dedication and inner exploration. Natural Born Leaders have certain qualities that properly developed will then create a great leader. Becoming a leader is a daily task, that takes time and experience, being exposed to different types of problems and challenges and having to deal with different individuals.
Athletes have a natural talent, not only to a single sport but in general to all physical activity. Athletes have to work hard, typically harder than most of us to bring out the best of them. Relying on their talent alone will not bring out the exceptional skills and they would only be average players. The same theory applies to leadership, everyday there are things to learn and gather knowledge from experiences. Personality, integrity, passion and setting the example are key elements to becoming a successful leader.
Leaders learn from other leaders, they learn by gaining experience from problem solving, they do not limit themselves and they are constantly looking to grow and for new challenges. Leaders learn from each other, they learn to distinguish success from failure and good actions from bad decisions. The golden rule to being a great leader is acknowledging his or her strengths and weaknesses and those of the people that conform his or her team.
Knowing the individuals will allow a leader to place the right person in the right task and successfully increase the chances of achieving positive results. What makes one person a better leader than others is entirely up to each individual, the tools are available, but it all depends on how each individual makes use of them. All individuals with hard work and dedication can master the necessary skills to become a successful and respected leader.
An individual must be passionate. Love and live the work they do. An individual that has a job to work from 8 to 5 and take home his paycheck will not succeed as a team leader; the person has to do it for the thrill and the satisfaction. Everyone needs a salary, individuals do not work for free, but there is a huge difference between working only for the money and working and enjoying what you do. Money will come if the individual works hard and honesty and sincerity are part of the way he or she does business. Hard and dedicated people, as long as they master the skills needed, will become successful leaders.

What Is Behind the Fear of Success?

By Ann Vertel

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  

What do you suppose will happen when you finally achieve all you've dreamed of? Aside from the expected upticks in your income and the ability to buy more things, travel more, invest more, and do more of what you really enjoy, what else could happen?
If you're like a lot of people, you haven't really looked at the downside to achieving all that success. You may have some vague notion that things will change, and they most certainly will, but you may also have assumed that all those changes will be good ones.
At least that's what your conscience thinks. If you have a fear of success, your subconscious has been actively engaged in ensuring that none of those things happen by working diligently to keep you comfortably at status quo.
Fear of success is a hidden, subconscious belief that if you actually become successful, dire consequences will ensue. It means that no matter how badly you want to achieve success, no matter how hard you work for it, and no matter how strong your will is to achieve it, your subconscious will do everything in its power to prevent it. And trust me, the subconscious is far more powerful than you might expect.
If you have a fear of success, you may experience one of five anxieties when you think about your goal. Simply anticipating your success can trigger these subconscious anxieties and lead to the complete opposite of your intended outcome. I'll talk about two of those anxieties here.
The first is a fear that if you become successful other people, those most important to you in particular, will love you less. That you will lose their affection and they will think less of you. If as a child you were criticized or belittled - if your parents held little hope that you would ever achieve anything significant - validating that opinion by complying with it ensures that you do not defy or disagree with their judgment. It keeps you in their good graces. Remaining average confirms for them what they suspected all along. You don't make them angry by defying their opinion and they reward you by continuing to approve of your current potential.
You can work for their approval or work for results, but you can't do both.
The second anxiety is a fear that you will not be able to handle an increase in status. It is a fear of increased responsibility. Naturally as you become more successful you will gain more responsibility. The benefits of achieving success might be appealing, but the change to who you will become and the responsibility that goes along with it, might feel unnerving. Perhaps we're just not up to taking on that type of significance - we'll feel like a fraud or we'll feel embarrassed. Maybe we'll be expected to say and do and be things that just don't feel comfortable. Maybe we'll humiliate ourselves by trying to do more than we think we are capable. Seeing who we could be and actually stepping into that role require different sets of skills.
There is good news. These subconscious anxieties aren't real, they are phantom thoughts that take up residence in our underlying beliefs to keep us from stepping up and stepping out so we don't hurt ourselves. They're just beliefs. And beliefs can be changed.

5 Suggested Questions To Ask Before Selecting A Cleaning Service

By James Lombardo

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy


1- How Long Have They Been In Business?
There is a level of risk associated with choosing a cleaning company with less than extensive janitorial experience. One concern would be if the company has adequate staffing capabilities in the event of a special request or emergency. They may not have the proper experience or resources to handle a wide variety of requests or problems. An established company may be able to provide testimonials or references that substantiate their performance as where a new company may struggle to provide such documentation. A less established company may experience cash flow venerability which could affect their ability to purchase the necessary cleaning products or equipment to service your building properly. Worst yet, untimely payroll deposits for their employees. Having adequate administrative personnel was also cited as an important consideration. Behind the scenes activity such as quality control, invoicing, interviewing and the training of new hires contribute to running a smooth cleaning operation.
2- What Will Be The Role Of The Salesperson After An Agreement Is Reached?
Take the time to explore the method in which the janitorial company intends to manage your account. Many facility managers believe that having the salesperson you negotiated with remain as your single point of contact throughout the life of the agreement is an important aspect of the relationship. The salesperson may be compensated with a residual commission which is intended to elevate the level of dedication to the client needs.
3- How Long Will The Quoted Price Remain Firm?
Although, most cleaning companies are ethical in their pricing mythology, some do attempt to take advantage low cost selling. Removing the low quote from the selection process often eliminates a potential danger. A firm that represents the lowest quote may soon return to request a price increase so they can then provide the service originally agreed to.
4- How Does The Company Cultivate Their Labor?
Before making a final decision, request a detailed explanation on the process they utilize to recruit, interview, screen, and verify background information for the people who will be entering your building. There are several firms approved by The Department of Homeland Security that can identify individuals that may not meet certain important criteria. An additional level of screening may also include drug screening and credit verification. Increased due diligence creates a peace of mind atmosphere.
5- How Long Will The Contract Remain In Effect?
The most often used term length is 1 year and usually includes a 30 our clause that can be triggered for any reason at all. Many companies are prepared to work with you on a day by day basis so you have the ability to ask them to leave at any time. Negotiate an agreement that both parties are comfortable with and always include a 30 day notice cancellation clause for the protection of both parties

4 Tips On Updating Your Resume

By Paige Mercer

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy   


We live in an uncertain world. You may have a great job right now, but you never know how long you are really going to have it. There is very limited job security anymore. Many companies do have layoffs especially when profits start to slip a bit and the growth of the business begins to stall. It's a good idea to always be prepared with an updated resume in case anything happens or in case anything better comes up for you. Learn some tips that will help you keep your resume updated.
Consider setting a date where you will update your resume no matter how secure your job seems at the moment. A good time to do this is New Year's Day or even your birthday. Take some time and go over your resume and making sure all the information is current. By setting a goal to update your resume once a year, it will always be fairly current and ready to submit on a moment's notice.
You may want to start updating it sooner if the industry you work in is going through some changes. If you hear about layoffs happening at your company, start updating your resume right now. You will need to be able to get a jump on the others who have similar skills and experiences and be ready to take a new job as soon as possible.
It is important to have your resume in order before doing a job search. You need to have it on hand and ready else you can end up looking a bit foolish when someone wants it and it's not ready. With the intense competition for jobs these days even one day can make a difference in whether you get an interview or not.
Here is a list of the things you may need to update on your resume:
  1. Start off by updating your contact information. For many people, this changes often. We change phone numbers, move, or even just get a new email address. You don't want an email or phone number on it that you haven't used in a while. Prospective employers need to be able to contact you.
  2. Make notes of rewards and accomplishments that you have received since the last time you updated this document. Even if you don't think some awards won't make much difference to a future employer you should add this. Employers have been known to make the final decision on a job based on the fact that one applicant belonged to a service group.
  3. Get recommendations from people right now. It doesn't hurt to ask even if you aren't looking for anything new. Having letters of recommendation on hand is smart so you will always be ready to go to an interview without waiting for someone to write a letter.
  4. Update your references. Some of these might be people you aren't in touch with anymore. Some might have moved or changed phone numbers which needs to be updated. Make sure your references are reputable people that know your character. It is a good idea to let them know you will be using them for a reference so they aren't taken by surprise when they get a phone call.
If you don't need to update and of the things listed above, you might consider adding new skills and experiences so that your resume doesn't look so stagnant.

Free Job Search Resources

By Melanie Szlucha

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy 


Why are some people so resistant to getting help? Why do we think that we are experts in everything? Financial planners are experts at figuring out where their clients should invest, there are people who specialize in organizing homes, and even travel agents who have a wealth of knowledge available to help you plan your next vacation. Yet many of us still feel capable of going it alone. Either because we think it's too expensive to hire a coach, or we don't think there's anything they could tell us that we don't already know.
Same holds true in my line of work. The most unfortunate are the people who know they need help, but it's impossible for them to afford it. I get many requests for free job search and resume resources, so I thought I'd include them here. Are they as good as one-on-one coaching? I'm sure that it varies by program and the number of people who participate but if you're stuck as to even how to start a resume or your job search, these are great places to start.
College Career Centers. These offices are an incredible wealth of information. If you're currently in college, or even an alum, don't hesitate to contact them to investigate what services they offer. Many have access to sophisticated assessment tests that can help you decide what jobs you're best suited to based on your experience, interests and personality. They will help you research and identify some target companies for your job search, or even find other places to search for a job. Want to get into a very specific field, or have a challenging career-related situation that you need advice on? These are the places to go. You've spent 4 years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars, this office is really where the rubber meets the road to get you to the next phase.
http://www.job-hunt.org - I found this site while doing some research this weekend. It's got a pretty extensive listing by state of free resources and job support groups. I live in CT, and saw a few on there that I did not know about. Resources will vary by state, but what I saw included everything from resume writing, job interviewing, networking and company research.
Your local library. There's two in my area who have conducted workshops on using the library in your job hunt. Librarians are a wealth of resources-because that's their job-to help you efficiently find what you're looking for. They can direct you to company databases, books on resume writing, and may be another source of free workshops you can attend. Chat one up, and I'm sure you'll be glad you did. They're there to help you.
I hope that helps. Many of these places offer services such as assessments, company information and job boards that I cannot possibly have access to. When you're ready to improve your resume or polish up those interviewing skills, shoot me an email or give me a call. We can chat on the phone for about 10 minutes (no charge), and I'm happy to offer you an assessment of how I can help you get to the next stage of your career.

Job Hunting Made Easy

By Jasmine Sanchez

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy


The key to finding a job quickly is understanding what you are good at. What most people do is they apply for a whole variety of jobs with different specialties (work requirements) then cross their fingers and see which employer calls first. This can be a very long process because it will take time for the employer to call you up for an interview because chances are that many other people have done the same thing you have.
During that period, you would simply sit unemployed. Instead of applying for every job that you see, apply for a job that you are capable of doing. This will save you time in looking for a job and will give you an advantage over the rest of the competition because you would actually know what you are talking about.
The next step in hunting for a job is to know where to look. There are plenty of job search engines out there on the internet that you can use to apply for a job. You can also try your luck by going through the jobs section in your local newspaper. You can also walk or drive around in your local area or nearby vicinity to see if there are jobs available in your area. You may even be given priority if you apply for a job in your local area as you are a resident of that location.
Regardless of your qualifications, where you decide to apply or look for a job, by following this guide you will be able to understand the basic fundamentals of job hunting and hopefully get a job without any delay.

Jobfox helps you fix your online presence so that you look more professional. I signed up for this service just because of this and then came to learn that I am now receiving the latest job listings as well - in some cases 48 hours before others even hear about the jobs. The cherry on top was the free "About Me" page that came with the Break Through service. I am now able to impress employers with my strengths, accomplishments, and industry contacts on a public web page with its own unique URL. I have also provided some additional information on my free webpage that I had to leave out of my resume because it made my resume too long. Simply put, Break Through is a really helpful tool.
After having such an amazing experience on Jobfox, I decided to read some reviews about Jobfox myself (to see if there was something else I was missing out on, haha) and I came to learn about some nasty reviews regarding this company. It was really shocking to see people rant about Jobfox being a scam and a terrible site, especially because I had an amazing experience with Jobfox. I found my job because of them! For this reason alone, I thought I would blog my experience with anyone who wishes to hear the truth about Jobfox. They are definitely not a scam and if anything they are the best Jobsite out there right now. So for anyone who really wants to find a Job in today's market, I encourage you to check out their site yourself. You will be glad you did and you will see yourself why Jobfox is "now the fastest growing job site on the web!"
