5 Things Every Employee Expects From The Management by hergists(f): 8:13am On May 28, 2019
Half of the people who quit their job decide to do so because of the management issues, even if they are fully satisfied with their salary and love the job they are doing.

Just how widespread this problem is can be acknowledged from a recent Gallups survey, claiming that companies fail to choose the right candidate for the management role in 82 percent of the time, causing great financial loses as well as much higher employee turnover rates.

The only way to prevent such failures is by actually listening to what the employees have to say.

So what are the expectations most people have of their managers?

1. Cultivate good communication

Communication is a two-way street, even when it comes to management, and when the road is rocky, damages occur.

On the other hand, when built on mutual respect and trust, good communication is in any given context a firm foundation of a meaningful relationship.

2. Praise not a raise

According to Entrepreneur, 65 percent of employees would be happier at work if their manager gave them recognition for their work. As only 35 percent would opt for a raise instead.

Praise and recognition are indeed one of the most important motivators and determinators of employees’ engagement.

3. Focus on strengths

Best employees want their managers to be able to be their mentors and give them some additional support, as well as help them in reaching their career goals.

They want to be able to grow, and the only way to do so is if their individuality is appreciated. Thus making focusing on employees’ strengths and not their weaknesses one of the main characteristics of good management.

4. Don’t ignore conflicts

Conflicts are a part of our workplace reality, and when they happen, the worst thing a manager can do is simply ignore them.

Existing conflict not only influences involved parties, but it also creates a negative atmosphere in the office, causing your other employees to suffer too.

5. Don’t micromanage

Employees need a certain level of decision-making authority, as well as their autonomy to choose how and when they will work on their tasks.

They hate being micromanaged, as this style of management implies a lot of things. Such as the possibility that their manager doesn’t have faith in employees, doesn’t trust them, or craves control. This is a message no one wants to receive.

Organizational culture is VERY crucial and sadly, most Nigerian companies lack that.

You omitted one basic thing employees expect to see from management..


We are talking of no other thing than fairness and/or equity.

Nothing grates like double standard between the top echelon of the workforce and the average Joe.

Look at what plays out: Top management enjoys of the perks of the work space, from outsized executive pay to all you can think of, while the average employee has to graft through to keep their head above water.

Management and managers should have integrity. They should keep to their financial promises, especially when the company is making profit.
