We can know that there is a considerable influence from the company's work environment on employee contributions and employee performance. This makes the organization must quickly and effectively make decisions to increase employee contributions and maintain employee performance so that it remains optimal and maximum so that company goals can still be achieved as planned. The Covid-19 pandemic has forced managers to rack their brains to make effective and efficient decisions. Managers must adapt to current conditions, around working hours, and company productivity and make management strategies to continue to maximize employee contributions and employee performance during this Covid-19 pandemic.
Managers must also be able to understand and understand the situation of their employees who work from home.
From the results of the journals that I have read, it is evident that strategic management in maximizing employee contributions and employee performance can be influenced by the company's work environment, including social unity, feelings of being respected and cared for by a manager, sharing of information, communication, trust, and vision and mission goals.
Together. Employees need support through their work environment that includes managers, teamwork, co-workers, and so on. Poor communication can result in an employee being reluctant to contribute because they feel unimportant and needed. They want their ideas and suggestions to be heard by managers and others. They feel valued and respected, and they realize that the work and responsibilities they do are important and greatly affect the advancement of productivity and company value. This makes employees happy and loyal to contribute to the company so that employee performance gets better. Employees are expected to develop their abilities, knowledge, skills, and abilities to contribute to the activities the company creates for them. Therefore, they need to find solutions to utilize all the abilities, knowledge, and skills they have to become positive and influence employee contributions and employee performance to the company's achievements. Meanwhile, a manager or leader needs to understand the needs and desires of employees. In addition, managers must also highlight the uniqueness of their work environment to maintain employee contributions and performance and motivate employees to work more seriously, and attract new employees to their company. This is a management strategy during the Covid-19 pandemic that is very profitable, both for employees and for the company, in maximizing the contribution and performance of current employees.
