Are you a good listener? Listening skills are just as important as speaking skills. We learn and understand others through listening.

At work, listening effectively is essential for understanding the challenges and issues team members face and for creating an environment where they feel heard, understood, valued, and respected.

In this episode, you'll find guidelines on how to improve your listening skills and how effective listening positively impacts the workplace and the people within it.

Maybe you’ve heard about various employee motivational strategies and thought, ‘''These do not work for my employees.'' You may be right. Not all motivational strategies are appropriate for every type of job or employee.

In this episode, I talk about the distinction between jobs that add value to a person’s career and those that don’t, as well as the differences in the motivational drivers, behaviour, and expectations of the people in those roles.

Another key point of this episode is the importance of adjusting employees’ roles as they grow their competencies and experience within the company. This helps avoid career stagnation, maintain and enhance their motivation along the way.

One of the major factors that impact employee motivation and performance is the leadership skills of direct managers. The same employee can show very different levels of engagement and results depending on the direct manager he/she works under.

In this episode of the Improve Work Podcast, we explore how direct managers shape the work experience, why their leadership skills matter, and how assessing and developing these skills can improve team motivation, productivity, and overall performance.

In this episode of the Improve Work Podcast, you’ll hear me talk about why it’s important to increase your team members’ autonomy in their roles and how you can do this effectively.

There are two main parts in this episode:

1. Practical actions and specific behaviours you can adopt to increase your team members’ ability to work independently.

2. How to build trusting relationships with your employees—because autonomy in a job is also based on the level of trust in an employee’s willingness to act in the company’s best interests.

Do you have friendly relationships with your team members? If yes, how much do you rely on them to ensure employee motivation and retention?

Although being friendly as a leader is a strength, employee motivation—and with it performance and retention—requires more from a team leader.

In this episode, Employee Motivation Needs More Than a Friendly Leader, you’ll find guidelines on how to balance being friendly and supportive with your team members while staying focused on efficiency and results.
