3.Нow to improve work efficiency and increase employee motivation?

No matter the size of your company, having a team of motivated, hard-working employees is crucial to your business success. When people lose their motivation, however, their job performance suffers -- they become less productive, less creative, less of an asset to the company. The bottom line: You pay a heavy price when employees have motivation issues.

Build a Foundation

It's important to build a solid foundation for your employees so they feel invested in the company.

Create a Positive Environment.

Promote an office atmosphere that makes all employees feel worthwhile and important. Don't play favorites with your staff. Keep office doors open, and let folks know they can always approach you with questions or concerns. After all, a happy office is a productive office.

Help employees improve their professional skills by providing on-the-job training or in-house career development. Allow them to attend workshops and seminars related to the industry. Encourage them to attend adult education classes paid for by the company. Employees will feel you are investing in them, and this will translate into improved job performance.

Offer people incentives to perform well, either with something small like a gift certificate or something more substantial such as a performance-based bonus or salary increase.

Also, give out "Employee of the Month" awards. Such tokens of appreciation will go far in motivating employees.

Help employees reach the next level professionally by providing on-site coaching. Bring in professionals to provide one-on-one counseling, which can help people learn how to overcome personal or professional obstacles on their career paths.

4.What makes а company successful? Characteristics of successful companies.

There are 16 different types of organizational character, it helps them to recognize the company and save it from the crisis.

And no single type is consistently associated with business success of market leadership. Particularly successful companies tend to be similar in 3 ways.

Now I would like to tell about SOL. It is an example of a successful company.

This company has a lot of peculiarities. The way of SOL’s life is decentralizing, responsibility and authority. There are no titles or secretaries at SOL, no individual offices or set hours of work. Company has eliminated all perks and status symbols. But in spite of the autonomy SOL is fanatical about measuring performance. Every month the consumer rates the team’s performance based on benchmarks.
