1) Simplify Scheduling
Sling’s scheduling feature is a fantastic way to improve overall efficiency levels. If you want to improve efficiency levels, always begin at the top and then proceed downward. It is important to streamline everything that your team members are doing – using the Tracktime 24 is a good idea – prior to moving on to things like the environment, technology, and workflow.
Sling has many different tools that you can use that can simplify everything that you are doing and can provide this a timetable format for your employees. In fact, Sling can:
- Allow you to copy schedules that will be on different days and weeks
- You can drag-and-drop the shifts that people are doing whenever you want to
- Create recurring shifts so that everyone will know when to show up
- show when people are coming and going at the Jobsite
- Helps manage your labor costs
These are just a few of the things you can expect from Sling. Conflicts in scheduling will be a thing of the past plus notifications are available. You can minimize the no-call, as well as the no-show, employees so that you can see what everyone is doing.
2) Create A Better Work Environment
Do you want your employees to be much faster?
At first, you may not notice the changes that are occurring, but they will have a substantial effect over time. If you are employees are constantly sitting on a desk that is cluttered, and if the office setting is hot or uncomfortable, efficiency levels will suffer.
A clean and healthy work environment is exactly what you want for your employees. They are going to be much better off, and as a result of this, productivity levels and efficiency levels will increase and create a better business.
3) Clear Away Problems Or Logjams In The Workflow
The term logjam is often used, along with bottleneck, to refer to problems with the flow of work at your place of business. These can be anything: a lengthy process that will need to be simplified, as well as poorly functioning departments, that may be on overload which is causing the issues.
By identifying what these logjams are, you will see what the problem is, and you can improve team efficiency levels by getting through these speed bumps.
4) The Delegation Of Workloads
The efficiency levels of your team members need to always be improved. There is an archaic aphorism that states that the use of many hands will make your work much lighter, and this has never been truer when referring to problems regarding office efficiency. If you are able to spread the workload between them or just a select few, this delegation process can increase productivity and efficiency levels in a matter of days.
However, you do not want to simply delegate a task without thinking about it. Each individual will have their own strengths and weaknesses, so you need to assign tasks accordingly.
5) Avoid Micromanaging Your Team
After the workload has been delegated, try not to micromanage. In fact, most people that have bosses that micromanage are going to make all of their employees very uncomfortable. This will affect their efficiency levels, and also their overall confidence, which is going to influence your productivity levels in a negative way.
All of your team members need to have autonomy, allowing them to become more focused by taking initiative on their own, opposed to allowing a micromanaging supervisor to do this for them.
