We are going through a period of considerable change, how can I make sure my team stay motivated and on board?
People are critical to success for all organisations – your employees and your customers. Keeping them as motivated as possible is even more important in times of change.
- Make sure you stay true to your values and how you work with people, whatever is happening
- Never underestimate the importance of communication and encouraging that communication to be two way
- Ensure your people feel part of the process and encourage a good flow of ideas. Make sure you highlight the critical issues for them; keep them well informed; hold sessions where ideas can be circulated; have an open door approach and encourage emailed contributions
- Make sure that your people know you will ‘tell them how it is’, however bad will enable them to trust you even if you and they don’t like the news. Tell them news face to face whenever possible.
