The role of the manager is to keep employees happy and have them do their jobs. However, it is not enough to just focus on employee happiness. Managers also need to concentrate on the organisation’s performance.

While employees are happy with their work, their productivity remains low. Factors that are responsible for this include conflicts between workers, low morale among employees due to poor working conditions, lack of training for new hires and lack of motivation among existing staff. Therefore, managers must take charge of addressing these issues by improving overall human resource management.

The most effective managers are those who can engage their workers in the process necessary to achieve the company’s goals. The most effective managers are those that hold their employees accountable to achieve these goals. The most effective managers are those that can motivate their workers through training and rewards, but also discipline.
