Qualities of High Performance Organizations!
Every organization wants and cherishes the idea of being a high performance one. It likes to beat
the competition. Will that happen overnight or accidentally? Definitely, NOT! So, what should the
organization or its leadership do to achieve such a status? How can one distinguish a high
performing organization from the others?
Some of the qualities or attributes of high performance workplaces and organizations are:
Direct their efforts towards getting the best out of their people. They believe that without
the commitment of their people they cannot accomplish their vision. They treat their people as
assets and strive for happiness and well-being in the organization. Happy employees are productive
employees-something a high performance organization never overlooks.
Build effective, multi-pronged communication networks. They ensure and encourage the free
flow of communication at various levels which are watertight enough to avoid any chance of
misunderstandings or miscommunication. They ensure that all employees understand the
Company’s mission, values and objectives and its expectations of them. Thus, they avoid confusion
and help employees pick the start-up speed.
Build and nurture effective teamwork. Teams thrive in coordination. All the members of a team
should be in sync, contributing to the common objective. This occurs when there is absolute trust
among the team members. High performance organizations provide leadership which builds trust
among the team members by encouraging open communication in a flat hierarchy. This motivates
employees to share their ideas, concerns and views on better work processes.
Show dynamism for change. Change is always welcome within an organization. They create a
culture which embraces diversity which leads to better ideas and higher productivity. They never
encourage a ‘we-have-always-done-things-this-way’ attitude. Instead, they provide proper
leadership in anticipating, analyzing, planning and managing change in accordance with
organizational objectives.
Facilitate learning and development. They boost individual growth by providing them with
proper learning tools and environment. They conduct training programs, seminars and workshops.
Besides, they offer online learning facilities to help employees gain new skills and improve
productivity. They never hinder employee growth.
Integrate technology appropriately. Using technology can greatly enhance employees’
productivity since it facilitates their work and can help them focus on several tasks.
High performance organizations are the ones that stay competitive in the market. However, it
cannot happen all of a sudden. It needs a conscious effort on a Company’s part to analyze and
develop practices that result in high performances. A Company must weave these practices into its
everyday operations so that it becomes part of its intrinsic culture.
