Getting the dynamics right in a business can be very challenging, and when you think you’ve got everything in place, things change. It has been a full-on year since 2022 began, and many of us have been hit with supply delays, systems failures, staff issues, loss of staff, and client challenges, putting even more pressure on business owners. Today, we live in a fast-paced environment where many of our clients run their businesses in fear of what could happen next. With interest rates rising, a government election happening, and even a skill shortage, it’s getting harder and harder to run and grow a business.
Running a business is challenging, but it is all about staying positive and being resilient. We have all learned to become more agile to create change and diversity in our businesses. Sometimes we create havoc and hope that our staff understands why we have to make these changes so quickly to meet the demands and challenges of running a business. Staff engagement and having a great culture are everything for great team motivation. The secret is not to live in fear but to put things in place as well as you can and give it your best shot for the betterment of your business.
Below are some activities you can do while driving towards
your business goals
Employer and Staff Engagement Survey
Conduct an anonymous employer and staff engagement survey in your company to provide feedback on how you feel about your company, linking business strategies to outcomes. Engage with your team to help you with strategic fulfillment whilst highlighting the results of your company’s performance. Staff engagement surveys are a great way to get your team all on the same page about where you want your business to go.
This is all about ensuring that you have everything in place to manage staff properly and that they respond to you in a way that will assist you in optimising these processes and systems in the future. Find out how they feel about contributing to your business whilst doing meaningful work.
