The Benefits of High-Performance Work Systems
There has emerged in recent years an exciting new paradigm known as High-Performance work systems (HPWS). HPWS is changing the way we think about people and how work is organized. A High-Performance organization could be defined as an organization in which each person is a contributing partner to the business.
High-performance work environments require deep respect and trust in people. People are neither viewed as extensions of machines, objects to be manipulated nor costs to be controlled. Instead, leadership sees employees as thinking and feeling human beings who bring enormous energy, creativity, and talent to their work. Most people want jobs that are meaningful and allow them autonomy to make decisions and contribute to the company in significant ways.
Effective organizations are those moving beyond attempting to control people to trusting and empowering them with the resources, information, tools, skills, and support to manage their work processes and create products and services of unprecedented quality. Moreover, they cross-organizational schisms to make it happen.
Three Simple Steps To Improve Performance and Effectiveness
When leaders, managers, supervisors and team members know how to manage their emotions, then everything else has a greater opportunity for success, engagement and performance.
Mastering challenging conversations impacts every interaction, everyday at work. Both leaders and team members must be able to engage in giving and receiving feedback, coaching conversations and conflict resolution.
