How to improve management capability in a business?

Today, in any business, technology management should be considered an important part of overall business administration. Technology management involves building and implementing policies to address the development and use of technology, especially in planning and enhancing a company's technological capabilities. Characteristics of Technology In the most general sense, technology is a collection of methods, processes, skills, know-how, tools, and means used to transform resources into products. Thus, technology can be understood as systematic knowledge of processes and techniques used to process materials and handle information, including all the skills, knowledge, equipment, and methods used in creating goods and providing services. A technology has four closely related and complementary components. First is the technical aspect, which includes all physical means such as tools, machinery, equipment, vehicles, and other infrastructure, often forming a chain corresponding to a specific technological process. Second is the human element, which includes knowledge, experience, and skills learned and accumulated through activities, as well as qualities such as creativity, wisdom, coordination ability, and work ethics. Third is information, which is the data compiled and systematized for use in the technology. The final component is organization, manifested through regulations on responsibilities, authority, relationships, and coordination among individuals working with the technology, including worker training processes and arrangements to make the best use of equipment. Besides finance, human resources, marketing, and sales, one of the levers that many businesses worldwide are placing great expectations on is technology, especially digital technology. A recent statistic from MIT CISR shows that 42% of businesses expect technology strategies—including social media, mobile, analytics, cloud computing, and the Internet—to create breakthroughs and new competitive advantages for them. A Company's Technology Management Capability Today, in any business, technology management should be considered an important part of overall business administration.

8 Human Resource Management Lessons from Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is known as an icon associated with the world-famous bitten apple logo. Besides creating distinctive products, Steve Jobs also had a very unique art of personnel management. Let's join 1Office to explore 8 noteworthy lessons from Steve Jobs' management style! 1. Tech Engineers are the Operators The people involved in Apple's daily operations are the engineers, not any other management component. The company's project teams are divided into small groups, and most members of these projects are tech engineers. According to long-time HR managers at Apple, most of the company's managers started as tech engineers. This is because they have a deep understanding of technology, know what the project needs, and make the process of working with other members easier. 2. A Culture of Mutual Respect Between Managers and Employees This is an unwritten rule in personnel management. Here, the concept of "subordinates obeying superiors" does not exist. Instead, a very special culture is present everywhere: mutual respect between managers and employees. This is because both managers and employees have a certain understanding and experience in technology. They support and interact with each other within a team to complete projects, and this is one of the key reasons for Apple's success. 3. Employees Have the Freedom to Build and Develop Products Unlike most other businesses, Steve Jobs' policy allowed his employees to freely correct their own mistakes without going through any procedures. Therefore, sometimes the most outstanding results bear the strong personal mark of the employees. 4. Creating Challenges for Employees Steve Jobs was truly talented at managing his employees and equipping them with the necessary skills for self-development within the company. Each of his employees might be assigned tasks that exceeded their capabilities to encourage them to be creative, complete the work, and thereby gain more motivation

Digital Transformation in the Construction Industry in Vietnam

The pandemic brought the global economy to a standstill, with commercial activities "hibernating" for three long months, making the situation for businesses of all sizes more difficult than ever. The aftermath of COVID-19 has left a trail of disruption, causing businesses across various industries to struggle, with some even teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Consequently, leaders are now urgently seeking a solution to save their companies from this "death sentence" in a volatile environment. Can applying digital transformation in the construction industry make a difference? The Plight of the Construction Industry After COVID-19 Challenges in HR and Work Management for the Construction Industry One of the most apparent challenges for the construction industry post-COVID is the alarming decline in the workforce. Although the government has controlled the pandemic, everyone remains vigilant to prevent reinfection and protect themselves.  The COVID-19 situation forces the construction industry to work online For this reason, project implementation and construction can no longer be carried out in concentrated areas as before. Instead, contractors are forced to extend timelines and work in smaller, separate teams, which creates significant challenges in supervising and tracking project quality and progress. Read more: Examples of Digital Transformation – 5 Latest Digital Transformation Trends in 2022 Challenges in the construction industry in tracking project progress Manual management processes also face significant disadvantages due to poor and ineffective coordination between departments. This stems from being forced into a rigid and mechanical "digitization" using free software like Google Drive, Skype, etc., which severely diminishes both work quality and efficiency. Forced digital transformation in the construction industry leads to negative efficiency Additionally, many other problems arise, such as employees missing information or forgetting client appointments.

Digital Transformation in the Design Industry – Should You or Shouldn’t You?

After the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is facing a crisis and economic recession. All businesses are suddenly at risk of bankruptcy and dissolution, and the design industry is one of the sectors that has suffered heavily from the pandemic's impact. At that moment, questions were raised everywhere about whether there was any solution to "save" the situation and help businesses survive. The clearest answer is a comprehensive "digital transformation" of the design industry. Problems for the design industry after COVID-19 Problems with partners and customer sources in the design industry Since it is not an essential industry for society, this is one of the sectors that suffered heavy losses post-COVID-19 as the number of potential customers decreased, business partners went bankrupt, and all projects and jobs were canceled or suspended. The design industry suffered heavy losses after COVID-19 For the units that "survived" after 3 months of "hibernation" due to the pandemic, they have to continuously face fierce competition in the market, struggling to find ways to turn the tables and make a successful comeback. Problems with human resource management in the design industry With the motto "he who changes first, wins," all businesses began to increase their work speed and employee efficiency, while also prioritizing cutting unnecessary costs and limiting unwarranted expenses for the company.  Businesses are forced to cut costs after COVID-19 However, cutting costs in this area does not change the fact that businesses still face difficulties in controlling the quantity and quality of personnel in the current era of "racing" to recover their "strength."  Problems with work performance in the design industry After COVID, managers who stick to manual methods for managing projects, tracking progress, and working through tools like the Microsoft Office suite and Google Drive will waste a lot of time.  Free digitalization apps

Digital Transformation in the Real Estate Industry – A Comprehensive Overview

The COVID-19 pandemic has passed, leaving heavy consequences for the global economy. However, the pandemic also served as an opportunity for businesses of all sizes and across all industries to review their operating models and development paths, identify shortcomings, and reshape their entire operational mechanisms. Amidst a constantly changing market storm, how can businesses turn risks into opportunities to survive and bounce back stronger? Is the answer the digital transformation of the real estate industry? The State of the Real Estate Industry Post-COVID-19 After the COVID-19 pandemic, "gloomy" and "stagnant" are the two keywords that best describe the situation of the real estate industry. Most potential customer sources were lost due to financial difficulties. Real estate projects were frozen, and some business premises were closed or repossessed because owners could no longer afford to pay, leading to mounting debt and increasing losses. Stagnant Operations in a Gloomy Real Estate Sector Since sales activities could no longer be organized on a large scale as before, real estate exchanges also operated at a minimal level, putting real estate businesses in a more difficult situation than ever. Some businesses were even forced to transfer many of their assets to maintain their operations. After the pandemic, real estate sales activities of businesses faced many difficulties Capital Mobilization - A Difficult Problem for the Post-COVID Real Estate Industry Finding ways to mobilize capital from customers is also a headache for businesses because everyone wants to invest in industries that meet essential consumer needs. Therefore, real estate has never been a priority investment choice at the present time. Legal "Bottlenecks" Causing Difficulties for the Real Estate Industry Administrative bottlenecks are also one of the reasons why real estate businesses are struggling, as housing and land projects have stalled due to legal procedure complications. Because of this

People can leverage digital data and internet connectivity to improve business management methods, reform the system, and take the business to a new level, a new stage of development. The state of the manufacturing industry during the COVID-19 pandemic Is demand exceeding supply a blessing in disguise? Due to its important role in both the global and domestic economies, the manufacturing industry has seen significant growth, especially in the medical equipment, tools, and food processing sectors. Demand exceeds supply in the medical equipment and food sectors during the COVID "season" These are items that serve essential human needs. However, due to the severe impact of the pandemic, many businesses still had to close or halt production. Reasons for a series of business bankruptcies The cause stems from the fact that the business structure has not kept pace with market demand and the need for expansion. Therefore, in addition to weaknesses in work management, information storage, and personnel management, these businesses also lack sufficient knowledge and are not ready to change and transform after the pandemic ends. Businesses "struggling" with the wave of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry The post-COVID period is considered a crucial survival phase for all industries and businesses. Because if a business is well-prepared and ready to innovate, it will not be killed off but, on the contrary, can develop rapidly and stand firm in the future.

Digital Transformation in B2B Commerce: A “Lifesaver” for Businesses

The decline in direct contact, the closure of trade fairs, the shift to remote work models, and the scarcity of direct sales opportunities have put the commerce industry in a more difficult situation than ever before. The COVID-19 pandemic has created major obstacles for companies that have not yet invested in e-commerce services. However, what can companies do in this situation? Is adopting digital transformation for the B2B commerce industry the only right strategy? To answer this question, let's find out more in the article below. The Current State of the B2B Commerce Industry - A Tumultuous Fall Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses have had to close down and go bankrupt, making the B2B commerce industry increasingly bleak. For traditional businesses or those that have not yet digitized or prepared, management issues are always poor, leading to an inability to compete in the market and eventual bankruptcy. Post-COVID, the B2B commerce industry faces struggles and hardships Partially digitized businesses may be able to survive temporarily, avoiding premature failure. However, this approach is not promising, because without complete digitization, a business cannot stand firm or compete in terms of speed, price, and service with other companies. Meanwhile, businesses that fully adopt digital transformation are rising strongly and are least affected. These companies continue to survive, transform powerfully, and grow relentlessly. Core Issues to Consider in the Digital Transformation of the B2B Commerce Industry The question arises: why do we suddenly have to undergo digital transformation? But after all, everything requires time, preparation, information gathering, and specific planning.

Digital Transformation in the Education Sector – A “Survival” Move During COVID

Digital transformation in the education sector is a "survival" step for the entire industry. Besides bringing many potential opportunities, this change also helps increase development efficiency, expand cooperation, and minimize costs. However, implementing digital transformation hastily and carelessly can "ruin" the opportunities for many generations of students. This requires educators to learn, train, and change to adapt and inherit the essence of the technology world, educational methods, as well as the most advanced and new mindsets and concepts. The State of the Education Sector During the COVID Pandemic The COVID pandemic has significantly impacted the education sector as schools were continuously closed to comply with social distancing policies. The education sector falls into a state of "long-term school closure" Study and examination plans were all postponed, waiting for the pandemic to end. Although they had prepared a fighting spirit and tried to "survive" before and during the pandemic, not all schools were fully equipped with the human and material resources to ensure comprehensive teaching. The fact that teachers and staff often lacked time to prepare lessons and lesson plans was also one of the unavoidable difficulties. In addition, some schools also faced the situation of not being able to build an online learning environment in time, and students encountered many difficulties in proactively approaching and getting used to this completely new way of learning and teaching. Read more: Examples of Digital Transformation – 5 latest digital transformation trends in 2022 The Education Sector's "Response" Methods During the COVID Season Considering the volatile nature of the pandemic, the education sector has implemented the "digitization" of all documents and lecture slides to support online teaching.

Should the spa and beauty industry digitally transform during the COVID pandemic?

Most industries are gradually shifting towards technologization and digitalization. More and more businesses are transitioning from traditional offline business models to online ones, including the Spa and beauty service industry. This means that applying a comprehensive digital transformation to the spa and beauty industry to keep up with the pace of the market economy is a crucial step for survival post-COVID. The current situation of the spa and beauty industry during COVID The COVID pandemic outbreak forced large spa centers and beauty institutes to close and cease operations according to the government's social distancing directives, leading to a severe decline in revenue. For small and medium-sized spas, the impact of the pandemic also led to a significant decrease in customers. Consequently, the issue of official salaries and bonuses for employees remains undecided, causing a sense of insecurity among workers. The spa and beauty industry suffered heavy losses due to COVID The inability to implement customer care, promotional, and appreciation programs put many businesses in a precarious situation, as they could not maintain their capital or retain their loyal customer base. The "social distancing" order caused spas and beauty institutes to close en masse Digital Transformation - A Timely Rescue Solution for the Spa and Beauty Industry The most important part of achieving success in the digital transformation revolution is to convert everything into an online business model, minimizing paper usage. This not only saves on storage space rental costs but also helps protect the environment.  Besides helping businesses in general, and spas and beauty salons in particular, to easily adjust and manage their work, digital transformation can also accelerate the achievement of service industry goals.

Overview of digital transformation in the IT industry in Vietnam

Digital transformation is affecting every industry across all sectors. Although the responsibility for researching digital transformation for a business often falls to the Chief Technical Officer (or Chief Technology Officer), the final decision-maker is still the CEO. Part of the digital transformation process in the IT (information technology) industry is to devise suitable application methods for the business. Regularly adopt new technologies To lead the organization with a progressive and innovative mindset, personnel within the company need to know and understand new technological innovations relevant to the business's field, as well as how these innovations can help the business undergo a comprehensive "transformation." Technology adoption often follows an S-curve, with exponential growth. It took 70 years for 50% of households to own a telephone, 28 years for the radio, while the internet only took 10 years to become widespread. The speed of reception and adaptation to technology has also increased accordingly. Digital transformation in the IT industry means comprehensive technology adoption for the organization The IT industry plays a key role in promoting digital transformation within businesses. For example, the adoption of Automation. This is a strategy that helps significantly reduce costs and frees up the budget for reinvestment in technology. By pioneering the adoption of new technologies like Face Recognition and Digital Banking, TPBANK has attracted a large number of users, mostly young people. The development of the economy and technological innovations have a mutually supportive relationship. As a result, a future where businesses generate revenue and increase efficiency through platforms and algorithms is born. Enhancing leadership in digital transformation One of the biggest obstacles to improving the customer experience through digital transformation is the lack of leadership in the IT field. Without this position, 56% of managers believe it's impossible to define a clear and precise digital transformation

They constantly ask questions, sometimes more than can be answered. They create outside the box. They don't care about the crowd's attention. They just focus on getting the job done as well as possible. They want to experiment with many different projects. In this state, chaos is acceptable. Most mistakes need to happen at this stage so the business can build resistance for the next phase. 1.3 Tips for an Effective HR Management Strategy Don't assign initial employees titles like "Head of/Director of... at Company X." Unless you are sure they will stay with you through the next stage of development.

Management models for each stage of business development

Management is a complex form that business administrators need to pay attention to. Mastering these management styles helps managers optimize human resources and resolve issues within the current personnel structure. Let's explore the 4 management styles corresponding to each stage of business development with 1Office in the following article! 1. Management Style in the Formation Stage Management style: Dream Management method: Management by emotion - relationships. Company size: 5 - 8 people. In the startup stage, the business is formed by a group of people with a common vision and ideals, working with enthusiasm. At this stage, personnel do not work for immediate financial gain but strive out of passion and dedication. They possess abundant energy and an endless well of ideas. [caption id="attachment_10321" align="aligncenter" width="600"] In the startup stage, the business is formed by a group of people with a common vision[/caption] At this time, the company size is quite small (under 10 people), so everyone is closely bonded by emotion and relationships. Although this management method is highly sentimental, it is very suitable for the development circumstances at that time, creating motivation to promote enthusiasm, employee effort, and increase cohesion to develop and perfect the product.

How to manage a business effectively?

There are many reasons for ineffective business management. And one of those reasons is the lack of a suitable management tool. As a pioneering software in digital transformation, the 1Office all-in-one management solution is the toolkit that helps businesses, especially SMEs, solve the problems of ineffective business management.  1. Comprehensive Business Management Using multiple overlapping software for management is one of the current problems in business administration. Although the convenience of using software has helped businesses solve quite a few complex management issues. However, using too many different software applications to solve each individual problem can become counterproductive. Management tasks also become more difficult.  [caption id="attachment_10227" align="aligncenter" width="600"] 1Office - Comprehensive enterprise management solution[/caption] To address this situation, the 1Office software has an outstanding advantage: "Comprehensive Management".

Or often, employees are "lazy" and don't work, and when the boss is away on a business trip, they can't monitor their staff... These are common business management issues seen in many SMEs. Work doesn't just happen in the office, in meeting rooms, or through reports. Work happens through 1Office, with just a smart device connected to the Internet, anytime, anywhere, in any situation.

The Covid-19 pandemic has just subsided, leaving many industries and businesses of all sizes struggling as the digital transformation storm sweeps across all commercial fronts. Faced with the intense market fluctuations affecting the retail industry and the global economy post-pandemic, businesses have quickly seized the opportunity to comprehensively implement "digital transformation" to survive and thrive in this new era. The Impact of Covid-19 on the Retail Industry Post-Covid, the retail industry is one of the sectors that has suffered heavy revenue losses. Some small and medium-sized enterprises have had to resort to various methods to attract customers and offset losses after resuming operations. The retail industry suffered heavy losses after the COVID-19 pandemic Therefore, most employees have had to work overtime upon returning to work to keep up with the pace and promote the company's redevelopment process. This issue also leads to increased costs as managers have to raise salaries, provide incentives, and reward employees for working overtime.  Challenges Specific to the Retail Industry Even before the pandemic, the retail industry often faced significant challenges due to some of its specific characteristics: Difficulties in Human Resource Management in the Retail Industry Employees frequently change shifts, work overtime, and have unfixed or unstable work schedules, making it difficult to track and manage human resources and employee schedules.  Retail personnel often face the situation of "more work, less pay" after COVID-19 Read more: Synchronizing Workflows - The Optimal Management Solution Many departments do not have fixed workplaces or must travel to various locations.

Digital Transformation in the Construction Industry in Vietnam

The pandemic brought the global economy to a standstill, with commercial activities "hibernating" for three long months, making the situation for businesses of all sizes more difficult than ever. The aftermath of COVID-19 has left a trail of disruption, causing businesses across various industries to struggle, with some even teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Consequently, leaders are now urgently seeking a solution to save their companies from this "death sentence" in a volatile environment. Can applying digital transformation in the construction industry make a difference? The Plight of the Construction Industry After COVID-19 Challenges in HR and Work Management for the Construction Industry One of the most apparent challenges for the construction industry post-COVID is the alarming decline in the workforce. Although the government has controlled the pandemic, everyone remains vigilant to prevent reinfection and protect themselves.  The COVID-19 situation forces the construction industry to work online For this reason, project implementation and construction can no longer be carried out in concentrated areas as before. Instead, contractors are forced to extend timelines and work in smaller, separate teams, which creates significant challenges in supervising and tracking project quality and progress. Read more: Examples of Digital Transformation – 5 Latest Digital Transformation Trends in 2022 Challenges in the construction industry in tracking project progress Manual management processes also face significant disadvantages due to poor and ineffective coordination between departments. This stems from being forced into a rigid and mechanical "digitization" using free software like Google Drive, Skype, etc., which severely diminishes both work quality and efficiency. Forced digital transformation in the construction industry leads to negative efficiency Additionally, many other problems arise, such as employees missing information or forgetting client appointments.

8 Human Resource Management Lessons from Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is known as an icon associated with the world-famous bitten apple logo. Besides creating distinctive products, Steve Jobs also had a very unique art of personnel management. Let's join 1Office to explore 8 noteworthy lessons from Steve Jobs' management style! 1. Tech Engineers are the Operators The people involved in Apple's daily operations are the engineers, not any other management component. The company's project teams are divided into small groups, and most members of these projects are tech engineers. According to long-time HR managers at Apple, most of the company's managers started as tech engineers. This is because they have a deep understanding of technology, know what the project needs, and make the process of working with other members easier. 2. A Culture of Mutual Respect Between Managers and Employees This is an unwritten rule in personnel management. Here, the concept of "subordinates obeying superiors" does not exist. Instead, a very special culture is present everywhere: mutual respect between managers and employees. This is because both managers and employees have a certain understanding and experience in technology. They support and interact with each other within a team to complete projects, and this is one of the key reasons for Apple's success. 3. Employees Have the Freedom to Build and Develop Products Unlike most other businesses, Steve Jobs' policy allowed his employees to freely correct their own mistakes without going through any procedures. Therefore, sometimes the most outstanding results bear the strong personal mark of the employees. 4. Creating Challenges for Employees Steve Jobs was truly talented at managing his employees and equipping them with the necessary skills for self-development within the company. Each of his employees might be assigned tasks that exceeded their capabilities to encourage them to be creative, complete the work, and thereby gain more motivation

Secrets to Retaining Talent for Startups

Low salaries and bonuses, non-standardized work processes, and even an uncertain future for the company... these obstacles are real barriers for startups. How to retain talent? Let's explore ways to retain talented employees with 1Office! 1. Be an Inspirer to Retain Talent "In small and medium-sized startups, I believe the most important factor determining whether an employee stays or leaves is their boss," shares Ms. Vu Ha – HR Director of Harvey Nash Vietnam. According to Ms. Ha, a startup owner will succeed in stabilizing their workforce if they know how to use internal communication to help employees understand the challenges the company must overcome and show them how important their contributions are. "Material incentives are indeed difficult for small startups to use as 'bait' to keep employees, but boosting morale is entirely within reach." [caption id="attachment_1922" align="aligncenter" width="564"] How to manage talent in a startup?[/caption] From failures in retaining talent, Mr. Vu Anh Duc - co-founder of Abbycard, a mobile membership card management application, also concluded that: if a startup wants employees to stay long-term, the boss must first ignite the spirit of "building a company together, not just getting paid to work." According to Mr. Duc, this spirit helps employees understand that they are a part of the company and its development. Even though the startup is small and faces many difficulties, if you can inspire enthusiasm in your employees, they will always be ready to share the hardships with the company. To achieve this goal, startup leaders should not hesitate to share their vision for the company with their employees. When both sides are looking in the same direction, the employee's commitment to the company becomes stronger. Equally important is building employees' belief in the startup's future, because if they think the company will not achieve the

Agreements in the labor contract, bonus regulations, or the company's collective labor agreement. Although not legally required, the 13th-month salary has become an "unspoken rule" of employee benefits in Vietnam to retain talent and boost employee morale.

5 secrets of successful HR management

Do you believe you'll succeed as an HR manager because you love working with people? But that alone is not enough. To become an excellent HR manager, you need much more. Let's explore the 5 skills of a talented HR manager with 1Office: 1. Mathematical skills It may sound strange because everyone thinks that HR management requires strong communication and relationship management skills, but the job of an HR manager also demands many statistical and reporting skills. This is an extremely necessary skill for HR managers to understand reports on recruitment activities, job performance, work efficiency, ..., create revenue reports, make salary decisions, and communicate effectively with business directors in the company, who are very sharp with numbers. Mathematical ability helps HR managers measure work efficiency and promotion potential to make personnel decisions. 2. Work-life balance You don't need to draw a strict line between life and work, but balance is necessary to harmonize work and rest. HR tasks never stop. You will never end a workday feeling that all employees are happy with their jobs, the company's policies are perfect, and everyone is helping each other advance in their careers. This is unlikely to happen. You will need to learn how to relax and disconnect from work when you get home. 3. Ability to handle tasks effectively The workload of an HR manager piles up daily as they have to handle many different tasks, from recruitment management to payroll and HR operations. Handling all these tasks at once is very demanding. Therefore, HR managers need a solution to perform their work more effectively. 1Office HR management software, with its full range of superior features, will help manage HR more efficiently with all HR functionalities integrated into one software system. 4.

The Secret to HR Management – Winning Hearts and Minds

A talented HR manager often has to shoulder all tasks and activities in every role. This article will give you 6 secrets to make employees wholeheartedly respect your every decision: 1.Show unconditional love and encouragement HR managers need to always show employees that you value their feelings and are always listening to their opinions.

This doesn't mean you have to sacrifice more important tasks every time to answer employees, but always know how to show them care and consideration. But sometimes, you have to know how to choose. An editor of an online magazine chose to leave her job to join a lower position at Yahoo!, just to be able to work with her team. 3.Strengthen the team You need to establish rules for the team and require team members to follow these common regulations. Carry out tasks seriously, even if it might sometimes displease employees; however, if maintained over time, your team's work efficiency will increase significantly.

8 Human Resource Management Lessons from Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is known as an icon associated with the world-famous bitten apple logo. Besides creating distinctive products, Steve Jobs also had a very unique art of personnel management. Let's join 1Office to explore 8 noteworthy lessons from Steve Jobs' management style! 1. Tech Engineers are the Operators The people involved in Apple's daily operations are the engineers, not any other management component. The company's project teams are divided into small groups, and most members of these projects are tech engineers. According to long-time HR managers at Apple, most of the company's managers started as tech engineers. This is because they have a deep understanding of technology, know what the project needs, and make the process of working with other members easier. 2. A Culture of Mutual Respect Between Managers and Employees This is an unwritten rule in personnel management. Here, the concept of "subordinates obeying superiors" does not exist. Instead, a very special culture is present everywhere: mutual respect between managers and employees. This is because both managers and employees have a certain understanding and experience in technology. They support and interact with each other within a team to complete projects, and this is one of the key reasons for Apple's success. 3. Employees Have the Freedom to Build and Develop Products Unlike most other businesses, Steve Jobs' policy allowed his employees to freely correct their own mistakes without going through any procedures. Therefore, sometimes the most outstanding results bear the strong personal mark of the employees. 4. Creating Challenges for Employees Steve Jobs was truly talented at managing his employees and equipping them with the necessary skills for self-development within the company. Each of his employees might be assigned tasks that exceeded their capabilities to encourage them to be creative, complete the work, and thereby gain more motivation

Let's explore ways to retain talented employees with 1Office! 1. Be an Inspirer to Retain Talent "In small and medium-sized startups, I believe the most important factor determining whether an employee stays or leaves is their boss," shares Ms. Vu Ha – HR Director of Harvey Nash Vietnam. According to Ms. Ha, a startup owner will succeed in stabilizing their workforce if they know how to use internal communication to help employees understand the challenges the company must overcome and show them how important their contributions are. "Material incentives are indeed difficult for small startups to use as 'bait' to keep employees, but boosting morale is entirely within reach." [caption id="attachment_1922" align="aligncenter" width="564"] How to manage talent in a startup?[/caption] From failures in retaining talent, Mr. Vu Anh Duc - co-founder of Abbycard, a mobile membership card management application, also concluded that: if a startup wants employees to stay long-term, the boss must first ignite the spirit of "building a company together, not just getting paid to work." According to Mr. Duc, this spirit helps employees understand that they are a part of the company and its development. Even though the startup is small and faces many difficulties, if you can inspire enthusiasm in your employees, they will always be ready to share the hardships with the company. To achieve this goal, startup leaders should not hesitate to share their vision for the company with their employees. When both sides are looking in the same direction, the employee's commitment to the company becomes stronger. Equally important is building employees' belief in the startup's future, because if they think the company will not achieve the

Let's explore the 5 skills of a talented HR manager with 1Office: 1.

6 benefits of a workflow management tool

Every business operates with numerous work processes. Essentially, a work process is a collection of repetitive tasks performed collaboratively by different departments within the company.  The Importance of Work Processes “A process is a mandatory sequence for performing a defined activity, designed to meet specific management objectives.” Having a clear work process helps employees or anyone performing a task understand what steps to take within an "activity," how to perform them, and what the desired outcome is. For example, in the "Deploy advertising for client A" activity: It starts with the sales department confirming the order. After sales confirmation, it moves to the accounting department for order verification. If all conditions are met, a production order is issued, and the subsequent steps are carried out. If any step is not completed, different tasks will be triggered. Workflow: "Implementing Advertising for Clients" Thanks to such "workflows," both experienced and new employees can grasp what needs to be done. Managers can also assign tasks more easily and have a clear understanding of what each employee is doing. A business with smoothly running workflows is an efficient business.  The "troubles" of not being able to manage workflows The importance of workflows has been proven. In a business, many processes run intertwined and simultaneously, thus requiring centralized management. However, many businesses and companies lack this management, or more specifically, they lack the tools to manage workflows. Therefore, tasks are usually communicated via email, group chats, etc. Often, managers write down processes on paper or even assign tasks verbally. They also perform management tasks on spreadsheet software like Excel to build and track data, but this is quite complex and lacks consistency.   The "troubles" for managers include: No reminder tools, having to chase each individual for work progress, and employees are also prone to forgetting

How Work Management Helps “Lubricate” the Business Machine

Managing a business is like operating a complex machine. Each employee is like a gear in that machine - if the gears run smoothly, the machine operates efficiently; if a gear gets stuck or rusty, the machine becomes sluggish, or even breaks down completely. Managers need to master and apply effective work management methods to drive the entire enterprise towards its desired goals. The 5 work management methods listed below will serve as a "guiding star" for managers when applied correctly within their business. Work Management Method 01 - Systemize Your Work By systemizing work, managers can know the daily and weekly workload, track which tasks are backlogged or unprocessed, and monitor the actual status of projects the company is undertaking. A work system helps track project progress and achieve goals List your projects and review the goals that managers have set. Evaluate important projects, or adjust goals to better suit the situation of each business. A good system not only helps broaden managers' perspectives but also helps make the process of creating work procedures smoother, faster, and more efficient. Work Management Method 02 - Document Storage For some businesses, document storage is always a top priority. Good storage practices help managers easily control and manage information or important documents. Additionally, when running a large company, information security is crucial. If document storage is careless or sloppy, leaks or losses can easily occur, which can have negative consequences or, even more seriously, create legal trouble for the business. Organized storage helps prevent information loss and makes searching easier The storage process can be implemented by systemizing information and documents in a neat and organized manner for easy retrieval and use when needed. Currently, there are two common forms of storage: "hard" and "soft" storage. So, what is soft storage? Soft

Create a personal schedule in just 4 simple and most effective steps

Time is something that money can't buy, yet we often waste it by using it inefficiently in our daily lives. So, how can we avoid wasting time? In reality, creating a personal schedule is crucial for improving the quality of both work and life. Scheduling ensures we have enough time to complete important tasks, avoid taking on too much work, or wasting time on unproductive activities. Above all, creating a personal schedule helps establish a balance between work and daily life for everyone. To create a reasonable and realistic personal schedule that fits your life and work, refer to the following 4 simple yet effective steps. Creating a personal schedule - Step 1: Determine appropriate work and rest times for the project This is one of the most important steps if we want to create a healthy, balanced work lifestyle. Currently, many businesses experience a serious "imbalance," where the workload is overwhelming, but there is little time for the brain and body to rest. Creating a personal schedule helps balance work and life Once the body is depleted of energy and shuts down, we won't be able to keep up with the set schedule, leading to falling behind on projects and a decline in output performance. Creating a personal schedule - Step 2: Create a project task list and determine priorities A clear list of project priorities will naturally help us save a lot more time compared to not having a list. Determining priority tasks helps focus on goals Usually, there are many tasks to be done in each project, so besides saving time, this also helps us accelerate project progress and manage the workflow more reasonably and with less complexity. Creating a schedule for the project helps save a lot of time Additionally, creating a list and identifying priorities

Manage and monitor projects in detail, all from your smartphone

The race in the digital age has never cooled down for growing businesses as the demand for convenience and speed in project management and monitoring continues to rise. The question that has been raised and become the premise for debates and discussions among business administrators is whether one can directly manage and track project progress with just a smartphone. To explore and answer this question, let's delve into this issue together. Difficulties in project management and monitoring Any business, whether in its startup phase or growing steadily, will face similar difficulties in management. This is because, traditionally, every project required a direct manager who was responsible for reporting to superiors to promptly find solutions if any issues arose. Traditional project management is associated with computers and desks Such direct monitoring creates many hassles for the person in charge due to its inconvenience and difficulty. For example, it's impossible to monitor continuously, work gets interrupted without knowing the cause, reports lack detail leading to reprimands from the boss, long travel distances, and a lot of time and effort are spent without achieving the desired work efficiency. With traditional management methods, employees or superiors involved in the project have limited tasks and cannot independently make changes, updates, corrections, or contribute ideas when necessary. For this reason, if one stage of the project is handled or executed poorly, the entire process can be halted until the root of the problem is found. Causes hindering project management and monitoring Currently, there are many reasons that hinder project management and monitoring, and here are some of the most prominent ones. Unclear work allocation Some people are overloaded with work, while others have nothing to do. This leads to employees shirking responsibility and passing the buck to each other. For a project to run smoothly, interaction

Work Management Mistakes – 5 Things CEOs Need to Avoid Immediately

As a CEO, you must face and take responsibility for all issues that arise within the business. However, reality shows that not every manager has the ability to see the core of a problem and find the best solution to minimize the impact on the company's reputation and quality. Therefore, despite many attempts to understand and overcome them, making work management mistakes in today's era still causes significant difficulties for both the company in general and managers in particular. Work Management Mistake #1: Not Knowing How to Delegate Tasks to Subordinates This is one of the most common mistakes CEOs make in work management today. Regardless of whether the business has a capable workforce to handle tasks, some managers still have the habit of taking on too many things at once. Of course, you might be able to complete everything faster, more cost-effectively, and even better yourself, but in the long run, this can leave managers with no time to more closely manage or supervise the company's major and minor activities. A major mistake leaders make is taking on too much work themselves Additionally, prolonging the process of "taking on all the work" will cause you to lose mental clarity and focus, significantly reducing your ability to concentrate on the company's core vision. As for your employees or team members, they may feel that their boss doesn't trust them. In the long run, this will foster feelings of being undervalued and disrespected by their own superiors. Always remember that delegating work to subordinates is not an option or a requirement—it is a necessity.

To achieve this, managers need an effective, sustainable, and long-term work tracking solution for their business. An effective work management solution helps businesses grow The current state of work management Uneven work distribution This is also one of the issues that can easily cause frustration and conflict among employees. Some leaders focus on assigning important tasks only to competent employees, while easier tasks are given to less experienced ones. The imbalance in work continues This leads to a situation where some people are overloaded while others are idle. Failing to choose the right person for the job Some leaders often only see the surface of the problem and focus on selecting experienced or key employees to handle important tasks. Choosing someone who fits the job is better than choosing someone skilled but unsuitable However, in reality, the best person is not necessarily the most skilled, but the one who is suitable for the position they hold. Instead of solely relying on key members, leaders should consider training and assigning tasks to employees who have potential and are suitable for the job. Difficulty in monitoring project progress For small and medium-sized enterprises, monitoring project progress and tracking work quality is not easy. The reason is the lack of clear unity and connection within the management structure. All departments and employees in each division work and communicate separately, without any sharing or connection. Reporting to superiors is done through poor, passive methods, which wastes a lot of time. The process of updating information is delayed, leading to ambiguity about the project's quality.

Today, there are many different ways to manage and control time effectively. You can download software, adjust your sleep schedule, or create to-do lists for each day, week, and month.

Time management at work is learning how to effectively use the amount of time you have to handle all the tasks you are responsible for. However, at present, not everyone can manage their time professionally. Some small and medium-sized organizations are still struggling, fumbling, and unable to find a way to arrange and adjust their time reasonably. Therefore, the situation of backlogged work and missed deadlines still occurs on a regular basis. Effective time management is not an overnight task It's not just businesses in general; the careless and wasteful use of time by employees, divisions, and departments is also one of the issues causing "inertia" for the business. Besides, weaknesses in corporate governance and creating personal schedules are also reasons that make time management very difficult. Tasks that should be prioritized are neglected and forgotten, while tasks that can be handled later "devour" too much of the employees' time. In addition, an unreasonable work allocation process leads to a situation where some people are overloaded with work, while others have too much free time. >> See more: 5 Causes of Wasted Work Time for Employees and Effective Solutions II.
