Workplace management
Workplace management is the ability to make an organization more efficient and increase
in its productivity through organization of all aspects that affect the workplace. Efficiency
increase in workplace setting effectively means that the organization becomes more productive
in operations, communication in workplaces, leadership, delegation, staffing and collaboration
with fellow colleagues.1An efficient workplace is an organized workplace and this helps in
saving more time and money for the organization. Staff or management who wants to achieve
workplace excellence must plan daily while every management should learn the principles of
management in keeping everything organized (Baldwin, Mark).
Effective communication within the workplace
An open-door policy does not allow employees to forget that they can talk to you when they
need Instead of arranging annual or quarterly meetings to communicate with their subordinates,
schedule monthly individual meetings so that you can be aware of what stage of development
your employees, how they feel and what they may need from you. Start with yourself. Become
an initiator of new habits that promote effective communication at work. Encourage social
interactions: encourage employees to communicate with each other. For example, make sure
that, if possible, the lunch break passes together and away from workplaces. Some employees
may be embarrassed to express their feelings or complaints openly, so consider an anonymous
message technology.

An extended model of the management process
This is an internal organization environment. It entails the organizations vision, mission,
stakeholders and culture. All the above mentioned internal organization environment influences
the resources, workplaces agendas, planning of the organization, organization, controlling and
leadership. This in turn affects the organizations output in the overall organization performance,
services, products and goal achievement. Work place resources include the IT resources, HR
resources, financial resources and raw materials. All information quickly reaches the attention of
the entire company. This centralizes communication, maintains a positive atmosphere, allows
everyone to always be in touch, and sometimes even have fun. Create an “office language” that
matches your corporate culture. Think of abbreviations or acronyms that make communication
through these channels even more interesting. 2 Make sure your body language is open and
accessible. When communicating: Remove the phone and other gadgets. Be on the same level
with the interlocutor (sitting / standing) Smile. Maintain eye contact. Keep balance after the end
of the working day, reduce the number of messages sent to employees to a minimum. Your
communication, of course, is very important, but, most likely, it can wait until the next day.
In an ideal world, people know that at the end of working hours, you need to turn off the
computer and stop checking your email. However, the truth is that most of us are so dependent
on work and technical devices that they cannot postpone them at all. If you want to maintain a
healthy balance between work and personal life, do not do so. How group moderation techniques
