How to Empower Your Workforce to Succeed – 4 Simple Steps

February 7, 2018 By Alex Hamilton 35 Comments

Your workforce is the driving power behind your business. You might be the sales gun funnelling work into your company and overseeing operations.

How to Empower Your Workforce to Succeed – 4 Simple Steps

But without an efficient and empowered staff, your services might begin to fall flat. This could result in a lack of ongoing work and a less than satisfied client base.

With the right systems in place, your employees will have the best chance to improve the productivity and reputation of your business. Here are four simple steps any company can follow to help empower their workforces to succeed.

1. Invest in a Business Management System

One of the best ways you can empower your workforce to succeed is by investing in a business management system (BMS).

Implementing a BMS within your business will give you the tools to make more strategic decisions. You will be able to put guidelines, policies, and processes in place and better manage your staff and projects.

Informed, strategic decision-making and more understandable and accessible guidelines will allow your staff members to reach their full potential.

Business management systems are flexible. You can adapt them to your organization to match your industry and fit with how you conduct day-to-day operations.

BMSs can also standardise your business processes and track your performance. They will give you a complete understanding of operations you are doing well, as well as areas where your business needs to improve.

2. Move Your Business to the Cloud

According to Forbes, cloud adoption by businesses has grown exponentially in recent years, with expectations that companies will continue to make the shift to the cloud in coming years.

This situation comes as no surprise because the security behind cloud computing continues to advance. This progress allows companies to rest assured that their business information will stay safe.

The reason that so many businesses are making the move to the cloud is the myriad of benefits it provides, such as:

  • Giving management and staff quick and easy access to business data
  • Allowing your workforce to access important business information from anywhere in the world, as long as there is internet access
  • Flexible cloud storage capacity, meaning you don’t need to purchase new hardware in order to increase your storage requirements
  • In most cases, moving to the cloud will save your business money
  • Your entire workforce will be able to access the network, improving collaboration

3. Keep Your Workforce Mobile

If you want to harness one of the biggest benefits of cloud computing, it’s time to get your workforce mobile. Once your business is online, your employees will be able to access important business information from anywhere, whether in the office or out on location.

Maybe your employee is speaking with a potential client and wants to show him or her previous case studies. Or perhaps you’re on location and about to put through an order for a client, but need to check your current stock levels.

Keeping your workforce mobile while still being connected will ensure there are no communication or stock issues.

Investing in a mobile invoicing app will allow your team of employees to make transactions, place orders, and accept payments while on location. Access to vital information while on location will streamline your business processes and give more flexibility to your staff and business as a whole.

4. Provide Essential Training

Once you’ve got the essential systems, guidelines, and processes in place, it’s time to properly train your staff. When incorporating a new business management system into your business or when moving to a different BMS provider, it will take some time for your workforce to learn and master the system.

If you or your management team don’t currently possess the capabilities to effectively train your staff, it could be worth investing in some leadership training. Leadership training is essential for every business, no matter the size or industry.

This kind of training teaches you how to effectively handle and manage your workforce. But it also gives you a greater ability to adapt to your ever-changing market.

Having highly trained management staff with skills in emotional intelligence and efficient project management will not merely benefit the managers. It also will encourage and empower all staff.

Any business can follow these four simple steps. These guidelines will empower your staff to perform at full capacity, bringing a range of benefits to your company. Effective leadership and manageable processes are key to a successful business.

    Hi Alex! Can you recommend some business management systems? These are great tips. I think if there is no communication or relationship between the workforce and the management, productivity and efficiency will probably decrease over time. Work will be repetitive and employee morale will be low.

      I’m not too confident recommending any particular business management system as it depends on your requirements as a business. There are many online resources to help you decide 🙂

    Hi Alex!

    These are nice tips! Businesses should consider moving to cloud.

    Just an additional tip, businesses should also consider outsourcing. I’ve been outsourcing my business tasks to a BPO Australia company called http://onehalf.com.au/ so my in-house staff can handle the more important tasks. Outsourcing also help me save more time and money.
