How to Build a High Performance Bookkeeping Service Team

Velan Outsourced bookkeeping services Building a team is a continuous process that does not happen overnight. What great joy it is to celebrate our own achievements! But what greater joy when sharing our celebration with others! While individual goals are more straightforward to articulate, it takes tremendous effort to mould many minds towards achieving a common goal. All team efforts require a voluminous amount of discipline and self-sacrificing. In a world driven by “every man for himself”, team players are highly valued for their traits and attributes

Building a team is a continuous process that does not happen overnight. The values, commitments, responsibilities and deadlines involved must be shared by all the members of a team equally. Like a car in motion wherein the wheels work in unison towards a direction, so should a team drive towards its goal. Some of the practises that can be followed are discussed below:

1. Conduct huddles and team-building exercises to ensure collective responsibility:

As a leader, it is your responsibility to be on the watch out for signs of burnout among your team, especially during peak seasons. To avoid individual exhaustion, it would be highly critical to ensure that the team performs as a cohesive unit and the roles and responsibilities are uniformly distributed. Scheduling regular face-to-face sessions with your team will also help. Taking the team out for lunch or dinner as a token of appreciation can work wonders to boost their morale and spirits. A team huddle at the beginning of the shift can help remind o targets and goals and can also be used as a platform to share best practices.

2. Summon Periodic Review for Revision of Goals and Targets:

It’s easy to get caught up in a whirlwind of day-to-day activities and lose sight of the bigger picture. Hence, it would be a healthy practice to break down the goal into smaller and quickly achievable targets. This would instil a sense of accomplishment that would in turn drive towards the bigger picture. A clear integration of the smaller targets to goal would be vital to provide a roadmap.

Weekly assessment of targets and recalibration accordingly would help plot one’s position on the map and help forecast the following steps accordingly. Appreciation and encouragement when small targets met will help inspire more productivity.

3. Perform Assessment, Audit and Call for Training sessions:

Periodical assessment of employees and an audit on the quality of work will help flag down grey areas if any. Some members may require an additional training session or a refresher session to amp things up a bit. Training sessions to keep the whole team updated with technologies and practices across the world will help in staying relevant. A report of the assessment should be able to help in the direction of moving towards the goal.

4. Device Democratic Decision Making in Special cases:

Generally, it’s practical for the decision-making to take place up the hierarchy and trickle down the pyramid. However, when the decision taken is to impact the whole team, it would be sensible to let the team have a say in it. This would not only employ delegation but also make the employees feel important. Being made part of the decision-making process promotes a sense of significance. However, this exercise can only be carried out in special case scenarios. 

5. Advocate Knowledge Transfer and Learning:

In the fast paced world we live in today driven by innovation and technology it is very important to be constantly updated. Investing in just manpower would eventually render the assets obsolete.  Encouraging learning and promoting training sessions to keep abreast with trending technologies will keep the resources from losing relevance. Knowledge transfer is also critical as it delivers a certain edge to the less experienced in handling certain scenarios.
