Here are ways human resource management can help innovate employees in Nigeria.
1. Hire people with different ideas and opinions: Look for employees who have different ideas but have the same vision with your business, don’t hire people with the same mindset. If people with the same mindset work together, there would be no room for improvement and no way to learn from each other. People with different ideas have the ability to lay down different solutions to solve a problem.
2. Opportunities to learn from one another: Create a working environment where employees can swap responsibilities. Bring teams with the different responsibilities together to brainstorm on improvements in other areas of the business. If one employee is down another from a different team should be able to handle the employee’s job while he/she is absent.
3. Promote employee interaction: Have a team building exercise that would promote innovative ideas. It should be a time when employees can interact and learn from each other to build trust.
1. Encourage innovation: Have a process in which every employee understands that my ideas would be well received to encourage more innovative ideas, suggestions and recommendations. Always support employee ideas with acknowledgement and feedback.
2. Performance check: Every employee should be checked regularly, it is the human resources management’s job to understand why an employee is not performing well and find out what they need to boost performance. It could be a change in responsibilities or encouragement to perform better.
1. Implementation: Employees will be motivated to work properly if new ideas and strategies are well implemented through training exercises. Employees should be encouraged to work towards the success of new ideas not forced into making it successful. When employees see that ideas implemented are working perfectly they would be encouraged to keep doing it.
2. Offer training: Offer training programmes that would generate new and innovative ideas. This would ensure that employees gain new experience and the business would benefit from it.
