How to Manage Employee Expectations

Seven things that you can put in place to meet your employee's expectations, now and in the future:

1. Provide Training and Development: 2016 study 2016 by the Association for Talent Development found that organizations that develop their people boast an incredible 218 percent higher income per employee, and a 24 percent higher profit margin, than those that don’t.

2. Offer More Flexibility at Work: study of almost 1,400 employees and managers in the U.K. revealed that 54 percent of workers felt productive through flexible working, and 75 percent felt more satisfied in their roles.

3. Provide a Personalized Experience: 2017 PWC survey of almost 1,400 CEO's across 79 countries found that 77 percent of respondents struggled to attract the talent that they need. But such talent wants a workplace that suits their personality and values, rather than one that tries to pigeonhole them.

4. Offer More Support and Recognition: It’s a virtuous circle: if your team members know that their hard work or great ideas are appreciated and rewarded, even if it’s with a simple “thank you,” then they will continue to give you their best.

5. Create a Collaborative and Inspiring culture: In general, most people, but particularly Millennial's and flexible and remote workers, want to feel part of a creative, collaborative team. The want to feel included and and engaged.

6. Be More Transparent: Leaders must engage with their people; the future is about open communication. You don’t want a fractured team or office air thick with tension. Honesty will lead to trust, and trust will help you unearth problems quicker.

7. Allow For More Involvement and Creativity: When Google ran its 20 Percent Time scheme for employees – allowing one day per week to be spent on side projects - it resulted in the creation of Gmail, Adsense and Google Maps.
