Improve Employee Performance Idea 87 — April 5, 2009: Link Teamwork To Individual Work

If you want employees to be better Team Players, try explaining the benefits of teamwork from an Individual Work perspective. For example:

“When you attend team meetings on time, you don’t have to spend extra time trying to learn what happened when you were absent.”

“When you keep other team members informed, they can give you what you need more quickly.”

“When you deliver your information to the team in a timely manner, members are more likely to reciprocate when you need information.”

KEY REMINDER: To improve employee performance, you have to conduct effective performance discussions, give effective performance feedback, reinforce employee performance, and use effective performance phrases to write effective performance appraisals.
