HR managers try new methods of engaging employees and improving overall productivity from time to time. Some approaches work and some do not, based on various factors like, industry type and the culture of work.

What most managers do not realize is that, with the changing work culture, it is important to monitor the employee’s progress and help them with the roadblocks they face from time to time.

Employee check-ins are a great way to for managers to gain a clear understanding about their employees. They help you improve your organization’s overall productivity by enabling managers and team members to frequently discuss any questions, concerns, or ideas they have.

Here’s how having a culture of frequent check-ins at your company, can help you increase the overall productivity.

Communication

Having frequent employee check-ins allows you to communicate with your employees frequently and get a proper understanding of their current work. This also makes employees feel that they have a safe place to share their concerns as well as discuss their ideas. Keeping an open line of communication between managers and employees boosts morale and fosters positive relationships.

Trust

Communication is the key to establishing trust between employees and managers. Having weekly employee check-ins allows you to build that rapport with your team members.

Having weekly check-ins at your workplace allows you to fix potential issues before they escalate. It is easy to correct any employee performance issues quickly and enhance employee performance which contribute to increase in productivity.
