The holidays are a wonderful time for family, friends, love, and laughter. Generally speaking, employee engagement can become tricky between Thanksgiving and New Years. It can be a time of frustration, or it can be utilized to increase happiness and strengthen relationships within your company.
The holidays can be a way for leaders and employees to bond and create some of their best work! It all comes down to understanding. Not just behavior, but being flexible and supportive of personal events, shifting schedules, and upcoming deadlines.
If people need to take off early one afternoon because they have family in town, let them. Make sure deadlines and expectations are clear, and offer support for projects. People who feel appreciated and supported become more engaged and invested in their work, not to mention the organization as a whole.
It’s perfectly possible to meet end of year deadlines during the holidays!
We’re eager to help you grow exponentially in 2020. With behavioral awareness we can achieve results beyond measure, and we’d love to help create them with you! In fact, let’s jump on a call to create a strategy to make 2020 the best year on record!
