Out of the many reasons employees choose to leave a company, majority are likely to point back to a problem with how a company decides to manage their employees. According to Forbes, three common reasons that have motivated employees to quit is if the employee feels intellectually stifled, they lack autonomy, and/or they feel as if though their work is unrecognized and unappreciated. If you’re worried about losing your best and brightest, see how ERP software implementation can help you address some of these concerns.
Dealing with unchallenged employees
Repetitive tasks such as entering order entries or entering General Ledger Reconciliation and Collections can be labour intensive, creating unmotivated and unhappy employees. With built in automation functions however, these tasks can be completed in minutes, allowing your employee to use their time more productively and apply their efforts to more worthwhile tasks.
Lack of autonomy
To micromanage or to establish various security protocols that hinders your employee’s ability to do their jobs can easily make an employee feel as if they aren’t trusted to make basic decisions in their work. ERP software such as Dynamics GP resolves this issue through employee portals, which allows employees rights to access necessary information and to communicate with other members of the team for help or assistance.
Failure to Recognize Good Work
Commending an employee for a job well done can go a long way. Instead of neglecting the work that employees have put in, managers should acknowledge when an employee has gone above and beyond to complete their assigned tasks. Now with ERP software, managers and supervisors can track the progress of every phase of a project and establish benchmarks. By tracking a project step by step, managers can review when specific tasks have been completed and by which employee, allowing them to appropriately praise or reprimand an employee for the quality of their work.
