5 Tips to Create a Results-Oriented Culture

Anne Bachrach

One of the best approaches to be floated over the past few years has been that of a results-oriented work culture. The term itself is quite self-explanatory. It simply means that you have to develop a work culture in your organization that is geared towards achieving results rather than just putting in the time. Of course, this is easier said than done and you have to work hard to implement this approach and get your employees to follow. 

 

Technically speaking, the roots of a results-oriented culture lie in allowing the employees to work as they see fit. Their job is to complete the work assigned to them and achieve the goals you set for them in a specific timeframe. How they do it, when they do it, etc., is up to them. You will only assess their performance based on the results. 

 

In some cases, this approach can work wonders for an employee. For instance, if an employee is unable to work in the conventional 9-to-5 slot because of family or any other commitments, they can complete their work in the evening after the others have gone home. The results matter and that is what that employee will deliver to you. However, you can never be too sure about your employees to be disciplined enough to follow this policy with honesty and diligence. 

Let’s explore five tips you can follow to help you create a results-oriented culture in your business. 

 

Follow these 5 tips and you will be able to change your current work environment to one based on results. You may even find better people because they thrive on a results-culture versus the traditional model.  In other words, you might need fewer results-oriented people to do the job which means less overhead and more revenue for you and our business. Wouldn’t that be nice?!

5 Tips to Create a Results-Oriented Culture

 

Some people would love a four-day work week, while some have gone so far as to suggest a four-hour work week. All the talk of changing the work week around to get the most out of your employees has been going on for a long time. One thing entrepreneurs need to realize is that the dynamics of each business are different which is why a one-size fits all solution doesn’t work. You are the one who has to decide how to achieve the goals you set for your business to grow to your next level. 

 

One of the best approaches to be floated over the past few years has been that of a results-oriented work culture. The term itself is quite self-explanatory. It simply means that you have to develop a work culture in your organization that is geared towards achieving results rather than just putting in the time. Of course, this is easier said than done and you have to work hard to implement this approach and get your employees to follow.

Their job is to complete the work assigned to them and achieve the goals you set for them in a specific timeframe. How they do it, when they do it, etc., is up to them.

The results matter and that is what that employee will deliver to you. However, you can never be too sure about your employees to be disciplined enough to follow this policy with honesty and diligence. 

 

Now that your business’ profits are fast approaching the million-dollar+ mark, changing the work culture will require you to change your entrepreneurial attitude. Being an entrepreneur means you would have been involved in most of the issues related to your business, regardless of their scope. To develop a results-oriented work culture, you will have to give up some of your authority and trust your employees to deliver the results without you having to supervise them in the way you used to. 

 

As with any business approach, there are obvious risks with attempting to create a results-oriented culture at the workplace. Yet, when you manage to do it right, there is no doubt that your business will benefit hugely from it. That way, you will be able to take it to the next level quicker than you had anticipated. Let’s explore five tips you can follow to help you create a results-oriented culture in your business. 

 

1. Setting Clear Goals

The first and foremost tip you need to follow is to set very clear and specific goals. Your employees need to know exactly what they are supposed to do, in a quantifiable manner, and by when it is expected. For instance, each salesperson should know how many units you expect them to sell within a given timeframe. How they sell the products doesn’t really matter as long as they achieve the goal. However, when you don’t make your expectations clear from the outset, it will create confusion in the mind of your employee. That way, they won’t be able to perform well enough to meet your expectations and achieve their goals. 

 

2. Provide Tools and Resources

Having proper technology is important for all businesses, big and small. In fact, improving your productivity and efficiency can be negatively impacted without consistently using technology in the best way possible. For this purpose, you have to equip your employees with the tools and equipment they need to perform the work they are required to do. Even when you have set clear goals, and the employee does not have the tools they need, how can you expect to get your desired results from them?

3. Improve Communication

One of the major failings of the traditional work routine is the time wasted on unnecessary communication or the lack of communication. In the traditional work culture, some people feel like they have to “kill” the 8 hours they are required to be at the workplace so they find ways to engage others in conversations and meetings that may not really be absolutely necessary to achieve the desired results. This is something that goes out the window when you want to set up a results-oriented work culture. You need to keep communication to a minimum and restricted to only the important things that an employee needs to know about the work they are responsible for doing.

4. Establish a System for Rewards and Punishment

Perhaps the most important of all tips is establishing a system or protocol for rewards and punishment. If an employee fails to complete the work they have been assigned, strict measures should be taken to reprimand them. This would come as no surprise because they were aware of any and all possible consequences when goals are not met. This will set a solid example for the other employees. At the same time, you need to reward those who deliver results above and beyond what you expect. Nothing motivates employees more than the chance to earn a bonus or other rewards they would like to have. 

 

5. Go For It!

One of the mistakes entrepreneurs make when moving towards a results-oriented culture is taking it one step at a time. This is not something you can ease into. You either choose to go ahead with it or change your mind now. You cannot take any chances with changing your business’ work culture. The impact on the future of your business could be devastating. So, if you want to develop a results-oriented culture, go for it and be all in. Don’t take any half-measures with a view to minimizing any possible risks associated with it. 

 

These are five tips you can follow to help you create a results-oriented culture within your organization. Follow these and you will be able to change your current work environment to one based on results. You may even find better people because they thrive on a results-culture versus the traditional model. Some people are just built with this characteristic where others would quickly fail.  In other words, you might need fewer results-oriented people to do the job which means less overhead and more revenue for you and our business. Wouldn’t that be nice?!
