Reassessing and Re-engaging With Your Team

By Karen J. Williams, Crothers Consulting
With the new year under way, we believe this presents an opportunity for business leaders to re-engage with their employees and position your organizations for strength. Here are some considerations and our related services to support you in this effort.

Employee Wellbeing
We encourage you to seek opportunities to support your employees in some comforting and fun ways to foster positive morale and team collaboration.  Below are some examples including those that we provide.

Solicit Employee Feedback
One of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey, “Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood,” emphasizes the importance of active listening and honoring others’ perspectives in a respectful manner.  We recommend encouraging your employees to openly provide feedback both informally and formally. 

The workplace has undergone a massive shift over the past few years, and now, as companies push for a return to the office , a concerning trend has emerged—worker engagement is on the decline. According to recent reports, nearly 8 million fewer workers are engaged in their jobs compared to previous years. But is RTO truly to blame, or are there deeper factors at play? Feedback is how you can dig into this trend.
 
Mission, Vision, and Values (MVV) and Employer Value Proposition
In our experience, those organizations which have a clear MVV have stronger cultures and thereby greater retention.  Your MVV is the foundation for your business strategy as well as your employer value proposition.  Below is a list of services we provide to help you align your employer value proposition to your MVV and business strategy.
