How To Hold Your Team Accountable (Without Micromanaging)
OfficeVibe: “We all know that micromanaging is bad. Employees become unmotivated, it’s a waste of time for everyone involved, and employees never grow. But of course, as a leader, you can’t never check in with your employees and let them do whatever they want, there has to be some control. So managers are in a tough spot. How do you balance the two? How do you walk that very delicate line and keep your team in check while not looking like a micromanager?”

Research: How Incentive Pay Affects Employee Engagement, Satisfaction, and Trust
Harvard Business Review: “Our study, published in Human Resource Management Journal, examined the extent to which each payment scheme was associated with employees’ experience of well-being, as measured by job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and trust in management. It also explored the relationship between the schemes and employees’ experiences of high work intensity and how this might explain any undesirable influence of incentive pay on well-being.”
