The Worldwide uncertainty has resulted in tough decisions for employers and often times left employees feeling left in the dark. In these times of uncertainty, your employees are craving clarity from leadership.
As a leader in your business, it is important to realize that the most valuable part of your company is the people—the human capital—and any plans to move your business forward have to begin with making sure your people feel valued and not left in the dark.
Here are three ways you can ensure your employees feel valued:
1. Be Open and Honest
If you don’t know, say it! Right now, honesty is what your employees need.
2. Remain flexible
Everyone is trying their best! Trust your people and remain flexible.
3. Show empathy
Health, financial stability, and job security are top concerns for employees right now. Do everything you can to support the well-being of your employees and their families.
It is simpler to be a leader when business is going well, but the true leaders shine when things are tough. More importantly, true leaders know how to take care of their people and make them feel valued. We encourage you to recognize and appreciate the value your employees bring to you and your business every day and please remember to communicate with them to ensure they understand how much you value and appreciate them.
In these uncertain times, how you treat your people will be remembered by your clients, communities, and employees for years to come. At Craig Bradford Associates, we are in the business of people and understanding what organizations need. This is precisely why we have helped hundreds of businesses source, interview, and place talented professionals throughout a wide range of industries.
