What is people management?

People management refers to all the processes and activities from hiring a candidate to that employee's exit. It involves effectively managing your workforce while also providing them the opportunity for growth and development. Good people management strategies balance organizational culture and productivity while emphasizing on employee experience and engagement.

Tools for effective people management

Managing a diverse workforce can be challenging. Regardless of the size or makeup of your organization, you must bring your team together and ensure there are no communication gaps. There are certain skills managers can use to ensure your team’s growth, welfare, and productivity.

Tools for effective people management

Recognition

Recognizing and appreciating your employees is the first step in employee engagement. Every employee wants to be recognized for their hard work and effort. Appreciating them will give them a sense of belonging and loyalty to your company. It portrays and promotes gratitude at the workplace and paves the way for better employee engagement and retention.

Communication

One of the biggest challenges in the workplace is communication. At the workplace, it's best to communicate in simple terms and use effective methods to get your ideas across to your team. Set up a communication channel that encourages employees to voice their concerns and share their ideas. Managers should also ensure there are no communication gaps of any sort, be it between departments, within teams, or among employees. It's good to have a tool that allows them to keep track of important discussions in virtual channels.

Conflict resolution

Conflict resolution is a must-have managerial skill that can help save hours of time otherwise spent mediating or resolving issues. To avoid conflicts, you need to be on top of your teams' activities and communication during meetings. Knowing what your employees are working on and who is working together is essential. Having a digital timesheet system and chat groups as part of your people management solution can make this process simple and efficient.

Employee empowerment

Processes and people make up an organization. Your processes can't act on their own, but your people can. Empower your employees to do more than their job descriptions, and encourage them to develop new skills. Provide them opportunities to learn and map their personal and professional growth. People management strategies should ideally allow employees to manage themselves, eliminating micromanagement. Engaged employees are happy employees.

Employee empowerment
Setting the right goals

Setting the right goals

Employees need goals that align with the organization's objectives and expectations. They need to be given direction and the motivation to see these goals through to completion. Encourage your employees to be proactive and set their own objectives as well, tracking their progress and contributions to the organization's growth. You should also allow them to set personal career goals and give them the room to pursue them.

Performance tracking

Your role doesn't end at helping your employees set their goals. Effective people management also involves providing regular feedback. Promote one-on-one reviews with your team and be readily available for feedback. Encourage your employees to track their goal completion, self-evaluate their performance, and discuss their findings. Talk about growth plans through continuous performance management.
