Manage talent, people, is not the easiest of tasks, especially in the case of IT; people management is an area that we should not overlook, whatever the size of the company.
You can always achieve something else (from any area of your business), provided that seek good solutions. Follow some advice to improve the human capital management in IT.
1. Know your talents
Google is a company recognized for its innovative management processes; call your human resources department of “People Operations”. The industry works through an approach of constant monitoring of the motivations and aspirations of its employees.
Obviously your company does not need to keep sophisticated Google’s data system on each member of your team, but you can follow the example seeking to know them.
The easiest way to do this is with regular meetings (and objective) with feedback and organizational climate research.
2. Understand what drives your employees
From the first advice you’ll know what motivates each member of your team and it will be easier to get the best of each.
Remember, not always money is everything. The preparation of a good career plan and reward programs can be more motivating for some employees.
3. Show your own mistakes
A sui generis advice is true, but consider the following: to submit to the team your own mistakes transmit to them more confidence to work, as well realize that they can also make mistakes, a good way to humanize before his subordinates.
This time can also be educational. It will show the subordinate that the important thing is to work to correct these errors as soon as possible. Actively working to solve the problem is more important than doing nothing.
4. Organizational climate.
The good relationship between employees is critical to increase productivity.
Invest in events, trainings putting together different sectors of the company, enabling the interaction between them, through a relaxed mood, outside the corporate environment.
