原标题：Is there more to just paying your warehouse staff good wages?      仓库工作是劳动密集型，苛刻的和重复性的，这不是什么秘密。身体健康是必须的，而且还有许多工作场所的危险因素需要注意。对于经理来说，让他们的仓库员工在这样的环境中保持安全，积极性和动力是一项挑战。 所有人都说，物流可以是一个非常令人满意的工作，但它也是一个需要纪律和团队合作的工作。仓库员工在工作中感到高兴并与同事保持良好关系是至关重要的。 以下是激励仓库员工的一些想法： -  从培训开始 通过全面培训让新员工获得良好的开端。鼓励他们提出问题并确保他们在遇到困难时获得支持。持续的培训应该始终是日常工作的一部分。这让每个人都有机会刷新现有技能，解决不确定因素并防止恶习进入。员工将有信心和动力，业务运行得更顺利。 自动化工作场所 尽可能使用最新的自动化方法和最新的WMS。花费在仓库周围的时间以及正确的计算机终端是浪费，低效和乏味的。移动工作站，手持式平板电脑，自动化垃圾箱和最新的WMS将减少完成任务所需的时间。工作人员的工作效率会更高，并且会使他们的日常工作更有收获。 最新的技术是关键吗？与机器交谈的概念可能听起来不是一个很好的激励因素，但是语音技术和最新的WMS解决方案已经被发现对仓库员工有积极的影响 - 工作生活平衡和整体健康。 该系统可以在班次过程中提供清晰的指导和指导，实现更高的效率，同时减少沮丧和错误。由于指示是根据需要提供的，因此捡拾者可以专注于单一行为而不会分心或延迟，从而减少错误。 创造一个安全和高效的环境 永远不要低估一个严肃认真的工作场所的影响。拥挤的和肮脏的地方正在令人沮丧的地方花费换班，并且如果涉及到机器可能会很危险。这几乎不鼓励工作人员尽最大努力或确实留下很长时间。清洁，光线充足的区域更加开朗和安全。人们必须知道他们的安全和福祉对公司很重要。 突破区域描述了与员工通常工作区域分开的任何空间。它可以成为员工放松，吃午餐甚至举行非正式会议的地方。公司有时可能会将突破区视为不必要的，但雇主应该考虑这些好处，以及在排除这些因素之前如何影响公司的业绩。事实是，在适当的环境下，突破空间可以成为无价的工作区域。 最后要记住，仓库没有多少窗户，没有自然光线，所以您的休息区内的灯光可以在营造舒适，轻盈和情绪提升的环境中发挥重要作用。巧妙地将人工照明与自然日光相结合可确保最佳照明条件，同时最大限度地降低能耗。 团队建设 仓库物流是一项需要大家共同努力的工作，因此在团队中建立归属感很重要。投资定期员工聚会可以真正发挥作用，创造一个愉快，社交和高效的工作场所。塔楼之夜 - 是鼓励团队合作的好方法。这并不是最原始的想法，但员工很高兴有机会比年度圣诞派对更经常地进行社交活动。第二天仓库里总会有很多聊天的地方。 周末可以结合非同寻常的活动，并有机会在更为非正式的环境中谈论工作。 转移工作在大型仓库中，班次工作可以与标准工作相媲美，而在大型仓库中，生产通常在9到5之间进行。对于因晚上和周末轮班而导致家庭和社会生活受到影响的工人来说，这并非易事，因此保持高昂的士气是至关重要的。家庭事件让每个人都有机会在工作环境之外相互了解，例如以及认识到员工拥有对他们很重要的家庭生活。 适应轮班变化的灵活性是保持员工满意的关键。尽管并不总是可以批准每一个请求，但我们试图让员工知道他们在外工作的重要性，并且如果条件允许，我们将满足他们的需求。鼓励责任 即使勤奋的员工也会努力保持他们的焦点，在相同的角色多年。员工需要有机会体验新工作并承担更多责任。参与培训新员工或规划一个大型项目会使人们感到重视，并更多地参与到业务中。 许多人都希望有机会通过公司学习新的技能和进步。与员工一起了解他们的目标并帮助他们制定职业规划将鼓励他们充分参与到流程中，并且他们会尽职尽责并竭诚回报您的支持 实施员工评估 定期与您的仓库员工进行审核，确保每个人都充分发挥潜力并找出任何问题。通过鼓励反馈，您将会了解更多关于您的同事的信息，并且可以很好地发现他们更适合的其他业务领域。如果你的员工喜欢他们所做的事情，他们会更有效率和动力，所以使用这个过程来让每个人都在正确的地方。他们会很高兴，业务也会受益。 在任何角色中，当某人表现良好时，承认并庆祝这一点非常重要。这是激励仓库物流人员的绝佳方式，让他们知道他们的成就并未被忽视。 健康和幸福 仓库可能是一个需要体力的环境，繁重的工作和体力劳动往往弥补了物流工作者的大部分时间。因此，员工健康和福利是一个高度优先考虑的问题，因为它对绩效和生产力有直接影响。定期休息和休假对于仓库员工充电和保持适合工作至关重要。在法定要求之外提供慷慨的假期补贴是工作人员将会欣赏的政策。 在仓库环境中，健康和安全意识至关重要，因此定期进行全面的健康和安全培训将有助于避免事故和伤害。保持每个人都知情并分享公司目标 每个人都是整个过程的组成部分。管理层应该让所有员工了解公司的目标和新项目的进展情况。如果时间艰难，尽可能诚实，并与您的团队合作进行改进。如果他们明白他们的投入是有价值的，他们就会有动力为其付出最大的努力。 经济波动可能导致一系列直接影响员工的变化，从转变模式，工资和奖金到购买新设备以及实施新项目。这些问题的细节应该与员工分享，以避免混淆和不满。如果人们了解情况，他们更有可能以积极的方式迎接挑战。 每个人都能很好地回应，鼓励，指导和尊重。你的员工也不例外。专注于您工作场所关系的时间和精力创造出快乐，积极和高效的仓库员工 - 这是保持您的业务发展的关键因素 It’s no secret that warehouse work is labour intensive, demanding and repetitive. Physical fitness is a must and there are numerous workplace hazards to look out for as well. For managers, it can be a challenge to keep their warehouse staff safe, engaged and motivated in such an environment. All being said, logistics can be a highly satisfying job, but it’s also one that requires discipline and teamwork. It’s vital for warehouse staff to feel happy at work and get on well with their colleagues. Here are some ideas for motivating your warehouse staff:- Begin with the training Get new employees off to a good start with thorough training. Encourage them to ask questions and ensure they’re supported if they have difficulties. Ongoing training should always be part of the routine. This gives everyone the chance to brush up on existing skills, resolve uncertainties and prevent bad habits from setting in. Staff will be confident and motivated and the business will run more smoothly as a result. Automate the workplace Wherever possible use the latest automation methods and the latest WMS. Time spent walking round the warehouse locating bins and the correct computer terminals is wasteful, inefficient and tedious. Mobile workstations, hand-held tablets , automated bins and the latest WMS will reduce the time taken to complete tasks. Staff will be more productive and it makes their daily routine more rewarding. Is the latest technology the key? The concept of talking to a machine may not sound like a great motivator, but voice technology and the latest WMS solutions have been found to have positive effects on warehouse staff – work-life balance and overall wellbeing. The system can provide clear guidance and direction over the course of the shift, enabling greater efficiency whilst reducing frustration and errors.  As instructions are given on an as needed basis, pickers can concentrate on single actions without distraction or delay, thereby reducing errors. Create a safe and productive environment Never underestimate the impact of a badly thought-out workplace. Cramped and dirty areas are depressing places to spend a shift and can be dangerous if machinery is involved. This hardly encourages staff to give it their best effort or indeed to stay around for long. Clean, well-lit areas are more cheerful and safer. People must know that their safety and wellbeing is important to the company. A break out area describes any space open to employees that is separate from their usual working area. It can be a place for employees to relax, eat their lunch and even hold informal meetings. Companies can sometimes see a break out area as an unnecessary but employers should consider the benefits and how this will impact on the company’s performance before ruling them out. The fact is that, with the right environment, a breakout space can become an invaluable work area. Lastly remember to bear in mind that warehouses do not have many windows and is absent of natural light, lighting in your break out areas can play an important role in creating a comfortable, light and mood lifting environment. Linking artificial lighting cleverly with the natural daylight can ensure optimum lighting conditions whilst minimising energy consumption. Team building Warehouse logistics is a job that requires everyone to pull together, so it’s important to build a sense of belonging within the team. Investing in regular staff get-togethers can really pay dividends to create a happy, sociable and productive workplace.Staff nights out –are a good way to encourage team bonding. It’s not the most original idea but employees appreciate the chance to socialise more regularly than just the annual Christmas party. And there’s always lots to chat about in the warehouse the next day. Weekends away can combine unusual activities with the chance to talk about work in a more informal setting.Shift work Shift work can be par for the course in a large warehouse, where production carries on outside the usual nine to five. This isn’t always easy for workers, whose family and social life can suffer because of evening and weekend shifts, so it’s essential to keep morale high.Events for families give everyone the chance to get to know each other outside the work environment, as well as recognising that employees have a family life that is important to them. Flexibility in accommodating shift changes is key to keeping staff happy. While it’s not always possible to grant every request, we try to let employees know that their life outside work is important and that we will meet their needs if conditions allow.Encourage responsibility Even diligent staff will struggle to maintain their focus if they’re stuck in the same role for years. Employees need the chance to experience new jobs and take on more responsibility. Involvement in training new recruits or planning a big project for example will make people feel valued and more involved with the business. Many people would like the opportunity to learn new skills and progress through the company. Working with staff to understand their goals and helping them with a career plan will encourage them to fully engage with the process and they’ll reward your support with diligence and dedication Implement staff reviews Regular reviews with your warehouse staff ensure everyone is fulfilling their full potential and identify any problems. By encouraging feedback you’ll learn more about your colleagues and may well spot other areas of the business where they are better suited. If your people enjoy what they do they’ll be more efficient and motivated, so use this process to get everyone in the right place. They’ll be happy and the business will benefit as well. In any role it’s important to acknowledge and celebrate when someone has performed well. This is an excellent way to motivate warehouse logistics staff and let them know that their achievements have not gone unnoticed. Health and wellbeing A warehouse can be a physically demanding environment, with heavy lifting and physical work often making up much of the logistics worker’s day. So employee health and wellbeing is a high priority as it has a direct effect on performance and productivity.Regular breaks and time off are essential for warehouse staff to recharge their batteries and remain fit for work. Offering a generous holiday allowance over and above your statutory requirements is a policy that workers will appreciate. Health and safety awareness is vital in a warehouse environment so regular, thorough health and safety training will help avoid accidents and injury.Keep everyone informed and share the company goals Everyone is an integral part of the process. Management should keep all staff informed of company goals and progress on new projects. If times are hard be as honest as you can and work with your team to make improvements. If they understand their input is valuable they’ll be motivated to give it their best effort. Economic fluctuations can lead to a host of changes that directly affect the staff, from shift patterns, wages and bonuses to the purchase of new equipment and the implementation of new projects. Details of these issues should be shared with employees to avoid confusion and dissatisfaction. If people are kept informed they’re far more likely to rise to the challenge in a positive way. Everyone responds well to appreciation, encouragement, guidance and respect. Your employees are no exception. Time and effort devoted to your workplace relationships creates happy, motivated and productive warehouse staff – vital ingredients to keep your business on t
