Make Every Penny Count - Friday
On October 03, 2008 in Thought for the Day
Our financial world is changing before our eyes. Its uncertainty has reminded us of how we must be fully in control or our financial house – at home and at work. So this week, let’s review a few ways that when we spend, we spend wisely. Let’s review ways to spend that generate great returns; let’s see how we can amplify the effect and make every penny count.
Today’s tip: Add “performance improvement” as a topic in your weekly team meeting (be sure to have a weekly team meeting!). Have one employee address a topic that will improve performance and present it at the meeting. Brainstorm ways to implement. Pass this responsibility to everyone on the team – give each a week to prepare. The return? Increased ownership, greater ideas, performance improvement and greater loyalty.

Today’s tip: Start a mentoring program in the organization. Pair more senior employees with junior employees to create a powerful exchange of ideas. Younger employees can help older employees understand technology and social trends. Older employees can share practical applications for improved performance. The return? Greater communication, shared ideas and more connection.

Today’s tip: Show employees that you spend wisely on their development. On a slower day, a Saturday or some other point where time allows, host an employee meeting with a powerful performance speaker. Focus the speaker on areas of the business that need improvement and use the program to inspire ideas and introduce new skills. Have all employees create action plans to use what they learned. The return? Greater contribution, more accountability and greater loyalty.

Today’s tip: Employees know that times are tight and they expect spending changes and cuts. To make the cuts more powerful and to engage employees in the process, include employees in your discussion of areas that could be cut and what value they offer. Help employees take ownership in the way company resources are allocated or spent. The return? Greater contribution and loyalty.

Today’s tip: Education is still the greatest investment. We are in an intellectual age and the more employees know, the more value they can build. So instead of cutting spending on learning, require that when employees participate in internal or external education, they must create an action plan and quantify the impact of the difference they can make with the new information. Hold employees more accountable to develop practical, performance-based skills that make a difference. The return? Increased learning, greater ideas, more contribution and increased loyalty.
