How to Get the Most Productivity out of Your Team...Without Pushing a Limit Of ‘Overworked’

Things are really busy at your company right now, so you need your employees to give their all at work each day. This is the only way to meet all the deadlines your team is facing, but you don’t want to push them too hard.

There’s a fine line between being productive and overworked, so you want to find the right balance. Frequently checking in with employees and making them feel comfortable coming to you if they feel like they’re facing unrealistic deadlines can help them avoid burnout.

When it comes to encouraging productivity, there’s plenty of ways to give a much-needed push without sending people over the edge.

Here’s a few tips to help your team in Dallas accomplish more than ever on their own terms.

Give Employees a Sense of Ownership

It’s hard for people to get excited about work that doesn’t feel like their own. Providing unnecessarily specific instructions and constantly hovering — i.e., micromanaging — can cause employees to become disengaged. Boost productivity by allowing them to own their work. Giving them as much freedom as possible to complete tasks independently will make them feel valued and encourage them to work more efficiently.

Offer Performance Incentives

Everyone likes to be rewarded for a job well done. Gently push employees to work hard and fast by offering an incentive. Either divide them into teams to create friendly competition or make it an individual effort and offer the winner(s) a prize they really want — i.e., an extra day of PTO, a gift card or a coveted parking spot. Prepare to be impressed by how energized people get when there’s a reward waiting at the end of the assignment.

Show Gratitude for Hard Work

It doesn’t feel good to work hard each day and have your efforts seemingly go unnoticed. People are more productive when they know the boss is watching, so take the time to thank employees for all they do. Gratitude from the boss will make them feel appreciated and encourage them to keep putting in extra effort.
