Chapter 6: Cleaning Up Your Workplace

In this episode from Pamela Hackett's book Manage to Engage, our hosts discuss how Hackett advocates for creating a "clean" workplace to boost employee engagement and productivity. A clean workplace isn't just about tidiness; it encompasses streamlined processes, user-friendly systems, and supportive infrastructure. She argues that addressing employees' frustrations ("grunt factors") and improving the overall work environment is crucial for improving employee morale and performance. This involves employing strategies like "Enterprise Aerial Mapping," a holistic assessment of the business infrastructure, to identify and resolve bottlenecks. Ultimately, the book emphasizes that investing in employee wellbeing and creating a positive work environment yields significant financial and operational benefits.You can learn more in the book published by Wiley: Enterprise aerial mapping allows you to look for opportunities to clean it up, remove barriers to success, connect better and build your ecosystem into a high performing operating model.
