Resolution-making is a tradition among individuals, but that doesn’t mean your company can’t set its own goals for the new year. Check out these five goals for bettering your company.

1. Focus on your culture

A toxic company culture can affect nearly every area of your business, from morale to productivity and, as a result, profit. If your team is anxious coming into work every day, it will show through their performance and ultimately when they decide to leave. It’s also harder to attract great talent when you’re dealing with a negative culture.

Take time to evaluate your company’s culture and talk to employees. Find out what works and what doesn’t so you can make your organization a better place to work.

2. Develop incentive programs

Being acknowledged is one of the greatest motivators for employees, so find ways to reward employees for what they do. It doesn’t have to be financially based; a simple public recognition for a job well done can show your team how much you value them.

Survey your employees and find out what motivates them. Develop an incentive program based on this feedback. Continue to adjust and adapt the program as things change. Keeping a program in place will bolster motivation.

3. Check in regularly

A supervisor checking in to see how things are going and how they can help shows the employee that their boss is engaged. Once employees realize their work is valued, they’ll want to perform well and share the results. Not only is this good for efficiency, it creates a better culture of communication between management and staff.

4. Provide professional development

Most people aren’t looking for a job they can work until they retire without advancing or learning anything new. Your employees want to climb the corporate ladder and continue to acquire new knowledge and it’s your job to provide them with opportunities to do so. You can bring workshops and speakers in house or let your team identify beneficial conferences and pay for them to attend.

5. Quarterly goal reviews

Goals lose their effect if ignored. Set up quarterly reviews to determine what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to be adjusted. Quarterly reviews are essential to staying on track all year.
