Organisations growth depends upon its employees’ creativity and innovation. It is not always the skillsets they have, but how good they are in utilising efficiently with new ideas and make it successful. The productivity is directly proportional to the skillset and the innovation. It becomes necessary for the leader or manager to identify and provide good opportunity for his team to come up with new ideas and make use of each one’s strength.
Organisations need to provide good opportunities to the employees to come up with innovative ideas. Opportunities can be created in different ways to identify the talent such as innovation challenges, brainstorming, open discussions. These events will help in identifying the individual talent. Companies should provide enough amount of such challenges to the employees and reward such talent. The organisation should be more transparent and open to take new ideas.
Talent and innovation come from knowledge. First the person has to build his knowledge and automatically it will lead to the creativity. Creativity is to make the existing things to work differently and effectively than new identification. So the person has to be exposed to more knowledge. Train them to the less exposed skills, provide ample opportunities for them to access information and adopt best practices. It also builds their confidence.
Each person is strong in particular skill. It is necessary to understand how these people can work as a team and increase the productivity. For example one person may be good in new ideas and another in execution. If they work together, it will result in successful product. The manager needs to understand how to utilise individual’s strength to make a strong team and increase the productivity.
Most of all, when company opens up and provides a platform for employee’s to showcase their talent, innovation and creativity, will boost employee satisfaction. Employees will feel wanted and find to be cared by the Employer. This will bring down the Company’s attrition rate and Employee loyalty will increase for sure.
