Managers 'need to focus on employee inclusion' Managers at companies with staff fulfilling roles such as finance jobs in London must be willing to embrace 21st-century ideas in order to keep their workforce satisfied in the wake of the recession.

That is according to Ashley Ward, director at consultancy European Leaders, who believes that forward-thinking bosses will strive to make their workers happy and content through a range of different initiatives.

Mr Ward suggested that making sure employees are all pulling in the same direction is absolutely crucial for any firm wishing to expand and flourish in the aftermath of the global economic downturn.

And, in order to achieve this goal, the expert insisted that worthwhile engagement schemes are vital, as inclusion and understanding of each individual's personality will motivate them to work to the maximum of their ability.

He stated that creating an "environment where the workforce can live their lives seven days a week" is important if they are going to give their all to their job and noted that a workplace where "Monday is a good day of the week" is something all managers should strive to achieve.

In the past, it was thought that offering workers small rewards and bonuses - such as allowing them to wear their own clothes one day a week, or permitting an early finish on a Friday - were effective motivational tools.

However, Mr Ward noted that inclusion is "not just about free pizzas and having cans of Coke around the place", as the most important aspect of this is making sure all workers are fully aware of the direction of the company and its professional strategies.

"What that releases in your workforce is a level of energy and diligence," he added.

Recently, GfK revealed that around 6.5 million UK employees - nearly 23 per cent of the national workforce - are looking to change employer in the next year.
