It is the essential role and responsibility of the manager in the workplace to ensure that the team that they manage is in line with the goals of the company as a whole. In many cases, this will require eliminating the employee that is actually dragging the team down. While it is true that this individual may be making an effort, or that they have been employed for quite some time, this can be recognized but this is not considered a good basis for a solid working relationship. In order to increase team value, as well as the value of the company as a whole, certain weights must be lifted.

Now, let’s consider the unemployment rate and the rate of turnover in the standard company. These days, this number can be really high! However, if you observe the numbers when it comes to your performance, you may be able to uncover the culprit when it comes to losing effective employees. If a new employee comes into a business that is already experiencing failure due to the fact that there are employees who just cannot meet the goals and demands of said organization, this attitude will start to be distributed in the entire team.

While a new hire may enjoy the pay that they are receiving due to the fact that it is ideal, or they may enjoy the benefits that they have the option of selecting, they will not like entering into a work atmosphere that is considered to be “negative”, “mediocre”, or “failing”. The numbers and the amount of goal achievement in a team make a large difference when it comes to whether you will keep employees and attract new employees. Now, overall, wouldn’t it had been easier just to eliminate the cause of failure instead of setting the business up for failure altogether? I think so!

Measuring success in the workplace is not just about looking at the “numbers”, it is about evaluating the talent that you have on your team. In many cases, the numbers that you would originally will indicate that there is a deeper issue. In order to ensure motivation among other employees, you must take a close look at the base employees and determine if there is something there weighing down your company.
