Hopefully, you’ve experienced the benefits of feeling confident yourself, including:
It works for you – and it behooves you to make it work for your employees, too. To build confidence throughout your workforce, focus on:
Respect
Confidence stems from being treated with respect. When you pay attention to a person, their ideas, and their presence, you show respect – even if you don’t always agree with them.
Training and Development
Continually help employees to grow and be better at their jobs and careers. Be sure to provide all the resources they need to do so, starting with a robust training and development strategy. In addition to building confidence, it’s a great way to boost retention among your top performers.
Encouraging Positive Interaction
Confidence is bolstered when employees feel there is an openness and availability between team members and between staff and management.
Recognition
When a manager or senior executive shows appreciation for a job well done, it builds both individual and team confidence. It’s human nature: everyone likes to be recognized for their achievements.
