2008 has seen financial doom and gloom swamp the headlines on a daily basis, how is this affecting the confidence of your employees?
As we enter the slow down for Christmas, your staff may think of looking for employment elsewhere – can you risk losing valuable long term employees who have a great understanding of your company and have spent years building excellent rapports with your clients?
With this in mind, now would be a good time to have team meetings and let your staff know what your intentions are for 2009.
Letting your staff know about how the business plans to progress and what new, exciting opportunities may arise is a great way to prevent them looking for new employment as soon as January hits.
Take the time to set objectives, training plans and incentives for your team, showing that despite the economic worries they wake up to hear on breakfast news everyday that your business is secure and you have contingency plans in place to get you through the well publicised ‘recession’.
The last thing you want in January is a well experienced member of your team handing their notice in due to uncertainty regarding the company’s future in these turbulent times.
