Dear Employers,

Good Internal structure is a precursor for Employee Retention. You cannot have a distorted structure and expect employees to manage with you.

Some Employers are the authors of toxicity & high turnover rate unknowingly and then still fight employees when they decide to leave their organisations.

A few Tips on helping Employers set the right structures:

👉Put in a place a structure for career growth.

👉Let people know what to expect as they advance in their career journey.

👉Learn to get help to set up your Internal Processes .

👉Organogram, Job description, SOP, salary band, promotion, reward systems are important to keep employees engaged.

👉Put structures in place for effective communication and span of control.

👉Don’t call both the subordinate and the supervisor to know what is happening in the unit and then ask the latter to be reporting his/her boss activity to you.

Lastweek, an employee reached out to me that she needs a change of job and that she is tired of being expected to be a “spy police”.

Må, “ the MD keeps asking us about the HOD when she can call him up herself”.

“I am beginning to feel watched myself. I am beginning to feel intimidated with her constant questions that is unrelated to the task at hand”.

“I am feeling guilty leaving the place as I love the new responsibilities I have been given”.

What do you think? Isn’t It obvious the MD is:

👉🏽Sowing seed of discord in the organization.

👉🏽Unintentionally creating a dysfunctional team.

👉🏽Creating a culture that would be termed toxic.

Asking employees to be spying on each other is a NO!

Create a stable & enabling environment for productivity & synergy.

We need to STOP⛔⛔ feeling bad or guilty about wanting something more if the system we find ourselves cannot give us that.

Your career is YOUR responsibility.

Babe u get Abuja job for a Linguist?

Dear Employees,

With the rate at which things are going one source of income does not seem to hold water anymore in this Nigeria our country. A salary of N200,000 (Two hundred thousand Naira); 3 years ago is looking like N50,000 for the Nigeria of today.

We no longer save transport for work, we just have money to go to work because there is no savings.

It seems like we are working on transport and feeding. As Salary seems to finish before every second week of the month!

Dear Nigerian Employees, how are you coping?

In this season if you can learn a skill that can assist with the family responsibilities, kindly go ahead.

I have seen great HR experts who are moving mountains in the industry also become food vendors for events.

I have seen professionals sell various products on the side.

No matter what you earn, Nigeria has a way of humbling you.

If you can, learn something or a trade (side hustle) that will help you with the family responsibilities. But please, dont trade it for your effectiveness and excellence in your corporate job.

Happy New Week!
