Employee concerns over pay systems,
managerial favoritism and equal recognition are common leadership
challenges. While leaders of some of the best small workplaces
struggle with fairness issues just like their corporate counterparts,
we’ve found that they often achieve more favorable results among their
staffs nearly 10 percent more often. This greater success is the result
of thoughtful and comprehensive management approaches. To help your
organization strengthen its own tactics, here are a few lessons to
consider:
Reaffirm that everyone will receive an equal opportunity to be recognized.
One of the fastest ways to erode a workplace’s sense of fairness is by
giving recognition unequally. This challenge can be especially difficult
when managing employees across multiple sites. When McMurry,
a Phoenix, Ariz.-based full-service marketing communications company,
acquired a second site, leaders were faced with how to adapt their
annual employee awards event in order to promote fairness. The company’s
leaders doubled up, dividing the event into two presentations — one at
each site held in successive weeks. The events were coordinated so that
when one location held its event, a simultaneous celebration was held in
the other.
