Making your employees feel more comfortable while working tirelessly for you isn't something that happens overnight. It's a process, and it takes time and effort. Follow these tips to get you started:

1. Hire the right people. Look for people who have a passion for your product or service, but also know how to work well with others and who will fit into your team's culture.

2. Be transparent with your employees. Tell them what you're trying to accomplish and how they can help achieve those goals, then give them all the information they need to do their jobs effectively.

3. Encourage team members to take risks and learn from their mistakes, but only if they're willing to make them. If someone isn't making enough mistakes, encourage them to find ways to improve their work or come up with new ideas so they'll feel more comfortable taking risks.

4. Focus on solving problems instead of blaming people when things go wrong (but only if they actually went wrong). If something breaks down, ask yourself "Why?" instead of looking for someone else to blame or punish because that person isn't going to fix anything by doing so anyway. You won't be able to fix everything yourself either so don't try too hard; just focus on fixing one thing at a time until everything gets fixed.

Number 4 is the truth and reality for me because personally, I hate to work with toxic people no matter the pay. I have worked in a toxic environment before and the worse is that the toxic person was the CEO so you don't even have anyone to report some of the bad situations to, so you just have to endure for the sake of the pay that you are receiving monthly. But truthfully I dreaded going to work almost everyday. And this attitude of his made employees to leave in droves. So you can see how bad attitude the owner had.

The funny thing is that he didn't mind the move as he was always ready to bring in more people almost every day and the employees hardly stay still. You don't treat adults like babies simply because they are working for you. You need to accord everyone a level of respect despite anything.

Employers need to do better with employees and try to deal with people individually. Don't use the measurement of another employee to use for another employee so that you don't just punished people anyhow simply because of the fault of one person. Avoid blame games and just focus on progress.

Staff motivation is a key factor to increase production and level of sales, when your staff or employees are happy with the work they are doing it yield a positive result for the business. There are so many ways we can encourage or motivate our staff in order to make them comfortable.
Good salary scale. When you place ur employees on a good salary scale to make them comfortable, they will be happy to work hard and more for the company and this will also increase the company total profit.
Good working environment. Apart from giving your employees good salary, it is also important to provide a good working environment for them to do their work. Safety measure should be put in place for them to carry out their duty.
Payment of bonus and incentives. There should be payment of bonus to staffs who work overtime to encourage them. Incentives can also be given to staff at the end of the year to appreciate their work for that year.
Freewheel to operate within the organizational goal. This is also a very important fact that can make an employees feel very comfortable in his or her place of work and to work hard to support the organizational goal.

If you really need to make your employees comfortable at workplaces while they work very hard, You will ensure that you give incentives and also ensure the security of the job. Once the employees knew that their job is secured, they would go extra mile to perform the duties in an effective and more efficient ways. This is the best way to keep your employees work harder and it will make them produce the best result for you. This is because they know that their job is secured and they know that they are important to the business.

The question is- how do you make your employees important? you could make your employees very important by treating them with respect and ensuring thier welfareism. An employee that is treated very badly would never work effectively for the success of the business because he knew that the job is not guaranteed. This is a very big lesson for any business owners that want you to achieve great results in their businesses. When you make employee very important and relevant, then you would expect a good result in your goods and services which is the basis of the success of your business.

Working for a boss is mostly seen as an atmosphere filled with tension, where staffs have to behave their selves orderly to avoid getting fired. Now that tension in them or the consciousness that they can get fired at anytime is not sometimes a good atmosphere to work. Yes it helps them behave orderly, nevertheless, it shouldn't be done excessively.

To make your staffs feel comfortable and relaxed while they work, you need to consider slacking abit, you need to reduce your strictness and be abit friendly, do not be overly friendly but in the midst of being warm to them act the boss that you are.

Give them opportunity to air their views and share their opinions when it comes to matters related to business, consider their opinions. When things go wrong support them and show them what they need to do from there, make communication easy by interacting with them.

Pay them their dues when it's time, do not by any means deny them if their pay, if you are not capable of paying at the given time, let them know before the time and tell them when you will be able to pay and let them be okay with it.

Having worked as a junior staff in two organizations that were run differently, I would say that leadership greatly affects the outcome and success of a business or organization.

One thing is that han resources are very difficult to manage but everyone likes being praised. You can use this as a way to motivate every staff you have. Even when you have criticisms about their work, ensure that they know you appreciate the good they do. This will make them interact with you and the others freely, creating a good atmosphere that ensure success.

Another thing that can promote hard work amongst employees is to provide the necessary tools, working environment and facilities for staff.

Most employers tend to neglect this, but people are more likely to.work longer and harder if they are comfortable. Some people can even work overtime just to continue enjoying the comfort of your workplace than go home.

Workers are the soul of any organisation. They are what the organisation breathes with. That's why it is incumbent on the manager to make sure that the workers are well taken care of in order for them to yeild the right results that may be necessitated for the organisation.

Among those things that a business owner needs to be doing is to make sure that there is conducive environment for the workers to work effectively. There is no way a good worker can work effectively if he's working in am environment that's not conducive for the result to be shown.

Not only this, workers always work effectively when they are paid regularly. The welfarism of workers should be the main thing for the business owner. When workers is seen as being worthy of whatever the level he is , there is no way there won't be effective working. It is a pity that some organisation either delay or pay late the salary of their workers.

Another way of helping the workers to work effectively is by making sure those workers are also part of the decisios. It is always sad that those that make those decisions are always the last people to be affected by the decisions.

I know working hard is essential for the progress of any business organisation , at the same time we also have to make sure that we as business owners and managers play our part to make sure everything works perfectly and as planned in a business organisation.

In most cases if a business organisation is not succeeding it is always as a result of bad leadership and organisation. This should not be blame on the employees because they are to work base on how the business is being organised by managers and business owners.

The most important thing is to just make your employees comfortable as this will help them carry out their daily responsibility perfectly. A lot of Managers and business owners are always very harsh with their employees but they believe they are doing the best thing but is completely the other way around in most cases. We have to be very careful when carrying out business responsibilities as managers.

Yeah indeed these are good ways to keep your employees motivated and hard-working. Among your points, the fact that you should stay and focus on bringing improvements rather than pointing out flaws drew my attention. The more you let people know about their tremendous abilities rather than their mistakes the better motivated they stay at work and the more effort they will put towards making sure that they give out their best.

And as you also said you must ensure that your choice of employment is the best. Make sure that you employ only persons who are capable and have the ability to deliver well.

And something that you must do on your side to keep your workers motivated is to make sure that their salaries and pay is constant and is balanced with the velocity of job a person is doing. No worker will really be hard-working if he or she is not paid well.

These are very good tips to making workers comfortable in the workplace. It is something that most companies tend to ignore yet it is very important. If workers are comfortable, you won't find many of them resigning and they will be very productive.

I love the idea of hiring the right people. These should be people who have the right qualifications for the job. This is from their past experiences and the knowledge and skills Thu have. When conducting interviews, you should choose wisely.

Then the people working for you should be really aware of the company's goals and objectives. That way, their actions and activities should be directed at gaining just that. Plus they should have responsibilities that corresponds with their abilities.

Lastly, know how to handle employee problems well. When someone does something wrong, avoid embarrassing them in front of others. Then focus on correcting rather than condemning them.

You have a point there, hiring the wrong people could lead to the down fall of your business. Most business owners tend to hire the wrong people cause they want to spend less. On the other hand, you still hire the right persons but the business still won't do well due to the fact that as the business owner or employer you are not treating them well.

Always appreciate them for a job well done. Employees love it when they are acknowledged and appreciated for Thier work. This will increase their productivity and make them put in more work. It will cost you nothing as an employer just to say positive words to your employees. Everyone is working for what they will depend on, make it honourable for them. Words such as "you did a great job, well done, thank you, you are important" and many more boosts the self esteem of your employees and makes them do more. And when they do more it is to your own advantage as it will mean more revenue for you. A good employer knows this and implements it in his workplace. When the workers are happy and contented, the productivity of the company as a whole is heightened. Just be positive to your workers, it works wonders that will surprise you.
