Employment Screening | Create a Distraction-Free Team Environment Pt. 1

Employment Screening | So how do you convince your people to stay focused without bossing them around? Let’s be honest: that won’t be easy. You may need to play a few tricks on them, so they will continue to like you even though you’re practically making them work harder.

1. Everyone wastes time at work. Accept it and move on

You can’t hope all your people will stay 100% productive every single day, okay? Just take a look at yourself: you’re not always productive. You give yourself a break from time to time to check Twitter or to see what turn that weird Reddit thread took. If you’re not that kind of man or gal, then you’re a workaholic and you need to lighten up.

In a survey from 2014, 89% of the respondents said they wasted at least some time at work every single day. That’s not a trend – it’s human nature and you can’t make it go away. How can turn that to your advantage, I hear you ask?

When you notice that the people in your team are not doing what you expect, wait for 15 minutes. Give them that time to relax and they will appreciate your flexibility. Then, when you say ‘alright people, let’s get back to work,” you’ll make it sound like a joke, but they will be ready to do what you say.

2. Give them the tools they need

Everyone gets more productive with a new 15-inch MacBook Pro! Are you one of those leaders who always get the best gadgets for themselves, but leave the team with outdated laptops? That’s not cool, man. When you get them some really cool computers, tablets, phones, presentation sets, and everything else they need, you’ll notice how much more they enjoy their work. -Recruit Loop
