How to Have Happier, More Productive Staff

But how do make them happy?

First, let’s be clear that happier staff and more productive staff are not mutually exclusive.  Employees don’t generally develop better working habits through being made miserable at work.  Make an effort to make them happier at work, and that in and of itself is likely to boost productivity.  Relax, while doubling their paid holiday time and putting in a gourmet canteen with an open bar would indeed make most of them very happy, that’s not what we have in mind.

We’re talking about making their work life more interesting by developing their skills and increasing their knowledge.  Gaining skills is personally satisfying and it boosts confidence.  It also shows staff that you are willing to make an investment in them.  Oh, and the right training gives them new skills and insights to do their jobs more efficiently.

Get Exactly the Right Training for Your Staff

The way to get exactly what your business needs to sharpen your staff’s digital marketing skills is to get tailored training.  Going off to a workshop can be a great networking opportunity.  But odds are part of the session will cover material your staff already knows and/ or skip information they need to learn.  Having experts come into your business to deliver precisely what your staff needs is a much better return on your investment.
