LET THEM KNOW YOU'RE AVAILABLE 🔊

When your employees see their colleagues being laid off, or read about your competitors downsizing, they are likely to feel that they are at risk, too. 🧨

And when you try to act as if it's no problem at all, you might be in trouble.🎇

In this phase of layoffs, organizational changes, and uncertainty, employees are feeling the pressure 🌀

They are worried about their futures, and doing what they can to protect themselves — which often means retreating into a safe zone of predictability 🙌

And as we all know, that's not a good way to run a business 🚩

So instead of throwing up our hands and saying "that's just how it is," there are ways to get through these tough times!

Here's how:

1. When you want to create an atmosphere of trust -- transparency and open communication are essential.

2. Ask questions, talk with people, smile, add your ideas, encourage them to bring their ideas to the table and make decisions together.

3. Let them know you're available. 🔊

This is how trust is built and enabled. 🤲

If your people know that they can count on YOU, then they will be more likely to step up when it matters most. 🧩🧩

And when THAT happens, that's when a company really starts making progress!🎊🎊🎊
