Do you want your best scientists
to stay?
Do you want your best supervisors
to like the job and do better at it?
Do you want your scientists
to be more motivated and creative?
The answer to these and numerous other
people-related questions is, of course, absolutely yes!
How do you get there? Why have the
traditional approaches not achieved this?
The answer is that your company or organization
is filled with scientists and engineers – technical people who think certain ways and have certain attitudes about work
and a company,
These are not the same as people in finance
and business, sales and marketing, or in human resources. The programs, classes, and other guides that are commonly offered
were designed by and created for people in these other professions. They do not resonate and grab people with a technical
background.
What is needed? All of those other approaches
can be made valid if they are molded into fitting scientists’ and engineers’ thinking.
Creating
better supervisor-employee linkage and communication, including performance reviews that work and involve the employees
Having
incentives and rewards that inspire and drive the workforce
Fostering
creativity and innovation beyond the norm – What box?
Building
listening skills for more effective meetings and communicating
Mentoring
and coaching (and there is a difference!)
Developing
better written and oral presentations
Increasing
teamwork and collaboration
Accepting
diversity and cultural awareness and using them to attain better business results
