Here are the top 5 proven and effective ways:-
1. Create the right work environment
According to Larry Winget, “A disorganized workspace means disorganized work habits. A sloppy work environment equals sloppy results”. We could not agree more. An organised work environment increases productivity. It is a well known fact that our physical environment has a direct impact on our well being.Of course, the physical aesthetics differ predominantly depending on the size of the organization. It is however never hard to create a safe space and a cozy environment for your employees. Further, it should be noted that the employees are furnished with proper utilities.
2. Discipline
The bridge between goal and accomplishments is what is known as discipline. It is the most important aspect of work ethic. Setting goals, targets, time, rules and regulations is what is needed. It should not be very rigid but it should resonate with the main agenda of the company. In order to enforce proper discipline it is important that the concerned higher authorities set good examples. Before preaching discipline it is important that the managers and the higher management abide by the same rules and regulations, defining flexibility in a proper way.
3. The culture of feedback
According to Elon Musk, feedback is extremely important because it keeps you thinking how you can do things better. Feedback from the part of the employees not only leads to positive brainstorming but it also keeps the channel of communication open. This causes more transparency in the work culture. Employees should receive feedback and they should always be allowed to participate in providing feedback.
4. Define clear goals and objectives
It becomes difficult for the employees to complete a task or to achieve a target if the goals are not defined in a proper manner. It is important that the team leaders should assign realistic goals to the team depending on their talent.
5. Rewards
Discipline can only be instilled in the employees through rewards. Rewards serve as both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Employees of a company should be amply rewarded both in terms of moral support and in terms of rewards, promotions. This is probably the most important way to instill discipline.With that being said, these are the best ways to ensure that your workforce is driven by the proper work ethics as well as the right kind of discipline. Try them, they work wonders!
