Won’t we lose time using Your FLOCK?
Why using Your FLOCK helps save your time.
Losing time. Using technologies that help you manage your team is a big fear for many Your FLOCK first time users. First of all, Your FLOCK looks like it will ADD to your time as a manager or team leader. As you get MORE feedback and more data from your employee engagement surveys. And then secondly, you have to use a new tool that you need to learn.
The good news is that – learning how to use Your FLOCK our team engagement platform takes less than 15 minutes. Not 15 minutes a week or month. 15 minutes for the whole year. Not only this. But using Your FLOCK cuts down on your management time. As our team engagement platform automates what you might do with other software. Like in house employment retention surveys done through TypeForm or Survey Monkey.
Another question we get asked is
“How much time should you spend managing employees?”
Well, it is thought that around 6 hours a week. Is the most effective for managers to spend on employee development. But, of course, this will depend on the size of their team. It also makes a difference on your experience level and your other role.
Many of our Your FLOCK team leaders also have a different job AT THE SAME TIME. So they might be the team leader of a small law firm but they also are lawyers at the same time. They might run the tech team but they are also the CTO or a lead developer.
This is whom Your FLOCK is made for.
For team leaders that want more information about their team and employee experience. But without the time cost of 1-2-1 meetings about it and the data that those meetings often fail to uncover.
In an era of digital disruption, tightening competition for talent and flagging workplace mental health. The leadership provided by managers and supervisors has become more important than ever. However, a new study from Reading-based consultancy Managementors has found that. Most supervisors and managers are spending far less time on active management than they would like.
“Based on an average working day of 7.5 hours and surveys of the working practices of over 100 supervisors and managers, the firm found that workplace leaders also drastically underestimate how much of their day is spent in meetings and on admin.”
Again this is where Your FLOCK automations come in. As you get a weekly or biweekly report cataloguing for you. Your team’s feedback based on their individual values.
There is a direct correlation between employee development and performance management. As employee development involves helping employees gain the skills and expertise. To perform well in their role. As well as for career growth, So performance increases.
When employees are being developed, they are happier in their job and perform better. Therefore, performance is improved. And this fosters more commitment to the job and the organisation.
The more of your management time you save using Your FLOCK the more you can do the human side of management and leading your team. We estimate using Your FLOCK – with all its features – will save you an hour per person per week.
In a team of 10 people – that’s more than a day and a half of time saved.
As Managementors rightly say:
“Managers are spending far too long in meetings which have little output. And are even stepping down to carry out the work of the people they are meant to be managing. and it’s time for UK businesses to have a hard look at how they operate.”
This is our goal at Your FLOCK with our team engagement platform. To cut down on the time spent by team leaders and managers. Let technology help your company culture and your employee engagement. And let You work on how to help your team be happy and more productive.
A recent HBR study shows managers spend:
- 54% of their time on administrative work
- 30% on solving problems and collaborating
- 10% on strategy and innovation
- 7% on developing people and engaging with stakeholders
Doesn’t that sound a bit backwards? How can managers drive high performance with 7% of their time on team engagement, employee experience, and people development?
Use Your FLOCK and make that 7% be the very best it can be.
