WHY MACORVA
As a leader, you know how crucial it is to optimize your team's productivity. You want to ensure that your employees are engaged, motivated, and able to focus on their core responsibilities. However, there are certain management tasks that can eat up your managers' time and energy, taking them away from their primary role of leading and guiding their teams. Let's take a closer look at five such tasks that can have a negative impact on team productivity and explore how an employee experience platform like Macorva can help save managers time and streamline their workflow using artificial intelligence (AI).
Micromanaging
Micromanagement is a common pitfall for many managers. It involves closely monitoring and controlling every aspect of an employee's work, leaving little room for autonomy and decision-making. While some managers may believe that micromanaging ensures that tasks are done the right way, it can actually be counterproductive. Micromanagement not only consumes managers' time but also demoralizes employees, making them feel disempowered and less motivated. It also hampers creativity and innovation, as employees may become hesitant to take risks or make decisions on their own. Instead of micromanaging, empower your managers to provide clear expectations and guidelines, while also giving their team members the autonomy to execute their tasks in their own way.
Macorva's AI-powered platform can assist managers in overcoming the challenges of micromanagement. By utilizing existing data from employee surveys, 360-degree feedback, customer feedback, and the manager's own notes, Radiant AI® can generate resources like performance reviews, meeting agendas, OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), and SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals. This eliminates the need for managers to spend excessive time micromanaging their team members, as they can quickly generate resources that provide clear expectations and guidelines for their employees.
Excessive Meetings
Meetings are essential for communication and collaboration, but they can quickly become a time-consuming and unproductive task if not managed efficiently. Managers often find themselves attending numerous meetings throughout the day, leaving them with little time to focus on their own responsibilities or provide support to their team members. To mitigate this, encourage your managers to prioritize meetings and only attend those that are necessary. Encourage them to set clear agendas, keep meetings concise, and delegate responsibilities to other team members whenever possible. This will allow your managers to better manage their time and keep their teams focused and productive.With our employee experience platform, managers are able to optimize their meetings. By using AI to generate meeting agendas based on existing data and feedback, managers can ensure that their meetings are focused and productive. This can save managers' time in preparing meeting agendas from scratch and ensure that meetings are effective in addressing team goals and challenges.
Administrative Tasks
Administrative tasks such as filling out paperwork, managing schedules, and handling employee requests can be time-consuming and take away from more strategic responsibilities. While these tasks are necessary, they can often be delegated to administrative assistants or other team members, freeing up your managers to focus on their core leadership duties. Streamline administrative processes, provide necessary resources, and empower your managers to delegate tasks to their team members, so they can focus on leading and guiding their teams.
With the ability to automate administrative tasks, managers can save time and allocate their focus on more strategic responsibilities. Macorva's AI-powered platform automatically generates performance review forms, schedule reminders for upcoming performance reviews, and track progress on performance goals.
Performance Reviews
Performance reviews are an important part of managing employee performance, but they can be time-consuming and cumbersome. Managers often spend a significant amount of time gathering data, writing performance review comments, and scheduling and conducting performance review meetings. This can take away from their ability to provide timely feedback and coaching to their team members, leading to delayed performance improvements and reduced productivity.Macorva's manager experience solutions can significantly streamline the performance review process through its AI capabilities. By automatically generating performance review comments based on existing data like employee surveys, 360-degree feedback, customer feedback, and the manager's own notes, Macorva can save managers hours of time that would have been spent on writing comments from scratch. The platform also provides a user-friendly interface for managers to easily customize and edit the generated comments to ensure they align with their team's specific goals and expectations. Moreover, Macorva's platform can schedule and track performance review meetings, send reminders to managers and employees, and generate performance review reports, making the entire process more efficient and effective.
Goal Setting and Tracking
Setting and tracking goals is a crucial part of managing employee performance and aligning team efforts towards achieving organizational objectives. However, manually setting and tracking goals can be time-consuming and prone to errors, especially when managers are dealing with multiple team members and multiple goals. Managers may also struggle with setting SMART goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound, leading to unclear expectations and misaligned efforts.
By using existing data and feedback, Macorva's AI can generate SMART goals that are tailored to each team member's strengths, weaknesses, and overall performance. Managers can also easily track progress towards these goals using the platform, which automatically updates with real-time data. This eliminates the need for manual goal setting and tracking, saving managers valuable time and ensuring that goals are aligned and tracked effectively.
