Create a lively and dynamic work environment

Research showed that managers can help employees thrive at work by: providing decision-making discretion, sharing information, minimising incivility in the working environment and offering performance feedback for them to learn. SMU Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources Tan Hwee Hoon added that it is also important that justice is practised at the workplace. At the end of the day, individuals want to be respected at work and justice is one of the clear indicators of whether there is respect for the individual employee. She also commented that Singapore firms tend to be low in decision-making latitude and information sharing. Thus, she felt that Singapore firms do not have a thriving environment. Singapore firms have to learn to let employees make decisions and to allow them to fail as well.
