The kind of competitive world that we live in today, major part of our day is spent at the places of work. And this is precisely the reason that our work places should be able to accommodate the employees’ development needs. Developing the employees in the work place in turn is beneficial to the organisation itself. A satisfied employee will give better productivity.

The first thing that should be kept in mind for the development of people on the job is their potential. One should be able to identify what are the individual’s Strengths and be able to divide the work on the basis of that. It will give the employee flexibility and motivation to work and try new things. Handing over a task not in line with the individual’s potential might creep in a fear of failure in the individual. He might hesitate in working his full potential up.

 Another thing that can lead to development of people on job is teamwork. When one works in a team, he learns more, can do more and can produce more. An individual can have only a particular way of approaching a problem, but when one works in a team, various solutions come up and the most efficient one can be implemented. Working in a team is beneficial for the overall development of an individual.

 The third important thing that leads to development of individual at work is the environment of the job place. It is a fact that people tend to work freely and satisfactorily in a relaxed and friendly environment than in a tensed and pressurised one. Pressurising an individual might lead to reduction in his/her productivity. On the other hand, giving the flexibility to an individual gives more room to thinking and experimenting  thus producing better results.

 The last thing that can help people at job is team building activities. A company should hold various seminars, training and organise activities that might help an individual to grow at the place of work. These activities motivate employees to learn new things and implement them in their work. They also help them look at the same thing with different approaches.

 Thus, the development of an employee at the work place is of utmost importance and it is a good thing that many companies these days are moving towards making the workplace a better place to work.
