How to Help Your Employees Meet Their Full Potential

If you’re managing employees on a regular basis, you are aware if they are, or are not, meeting their full potential. Encouraging your employees to meet their full potential not only ensures that they will be happier, but also enhances workplace productivity and success. Here’s how to help your employees meet their full potential.

Assess Their Strengths

The first way you can help your employees meet their full potential is to assess their strengths. You can do this by observing them while they’re working and seeing what comes naturally to them. You’ll find that some employees are better at quantitative tasks while others are better at qualitative tasks. Some employees are better at short-term execution, while others are better at long-term strategy. Once you have a baseline of their strengths, you can start to help them meet their full potential.

Ask What They Want to Do

It’s important to ask your employees what they want to do and what potential they want to achieve. While a particular employee may be great at administrative work, he or she might have a passion for customer service. You will need to find the balance between what they like doing and what they’re good at to make your efforts fully successful.

Have Monthly Check-Ins

Once you’ve established the goal or goals your employee should be striving for, make it a point to check in with him/her regularly. This will keep your employee accountable, and it will allow you to assign new goals or tasks for them to meet consistently.

Encourage Them to Strive For Greatness

Above all, you need to encourage your employees to strive for greatness if they’re going to meet their full potential. This can be done by letting your employees know you believe in them and that you are rooting for their success. You will be surprised at how much people can accomplish when they even have one person believing in them.

5 Ways to Boost Your Resume

When you submit your resume to most companies, the first person who sees it is a recruiter who sees dozens of resumes a day. You have one chance to make the kind of first impression that gets you to the next step. Here are five ways to boost your resume past the first stage and move you on to more face to face interviews:

Make It Clean and Readable.

Want your resume to be read? Make it easy to read. No wall of text sections. Use short, punchy bullet points, clear, concise information and sufficient white space. This makes it easy for your resume to be scanned quickly.

Focus On Success.

You want to include your full toolbox of applicable skills and experiences. Don’t forget to show off these attributes as part of past accomplishments. Tie a skill with the way you used effectively and give specific results.

Use Relevant Keywords.

A good resume is like a good Google search: You get better results when you use the right keywords. Robin Ryan says you should “make a list of the “buzz words connected to perform your type of job. Look through employers’ job ads to uncover the major ones. Incorporate these keywords into the sentences describing your previous work experience.”

Tailor Your Resume for Each Application.

Every job post will clearly state what the company is looking for regarding skills and experiences. Make sure you include matching information using the same keywords as the job post every time you send out your resume. A short intro that has the exact info the recruiter is looking for is also a good idea.

Less Is More!

Remember your resume isn’t being read like a book, it’s being scanned like an outline. According to Nancy Collamer, “we all skim more than we read, so to reward that reading style. Also, add white space between paragraphs to provide “breathing room.”

Excessive words are just clutter. Check your word count when you write your resume and see if you can cut 20% of the words without losing any essential info. You will be surprised how much cleaner and more professional this makes your resume look.
