What is it costing you?
How much does employee turnover cost your company? Can you estimate the cost of a lack of engagement? How much does it cost you personally, in terms of your own well being and satisfaction?
In our current environment, with people leaving their companies at rates never seen before, especially women, leaders are in a crisis.
How does a leader address this unprecedented challenge?
Imagine this: in the midst of planning your product, the world comes to a stop with a once in a lifetime global pandemic. Everything is cancelled or put on hold. Sales plummet. Managers scramble to find ways to connect with teams remotely, something for which they have not been trained and feel woefully unprepared to execute.
Social unrest erupts during the summer, and racial inequity takes the fore, and suddenly the advertising campaign you had scheduled looks tone deaf. It will need to be scrapped and rebuilt, but revenue is down so much there is no way you can afford it.
It's hard to know if people are working or not. You are trying to manage a team while your toddler comes into your office in the middle of an all-hands call. You are worried about your elderly parents, and you won't be able to visit.
It's no wonder that some leaders and managers let meaningful connection people slide in all of this, but the impact of that slide is devastating.
People know that they want to do meaningful work, in an environment with meaningful relationships and opportunity to excel. Work hasn't been providing that and they're going to be looking to move to a place that does (or stay at a place where that's already offered.)
Now, on top of revenue challenges, supply chain issues and the requirements to redevelop strategic plans, managers have a new priority:
- How to hire and keep the best employees, and motivate them to do their best work.
- How to help their employees find meaning at work and at home.
- How to give people what they need to develop an integrated sense of self so they can do their best work.
What if you could change the tide?
This is where Grit Institute courses, consulting and coaching come into play.
We're committed to building leaders for a better world, to make developing your people easier, providing meaningful training that:
lets them know how valued they are,
helps them move forward toward their own goals so
they feel a sense of meaningful contribution and opportunity
which helps YOUR bottom line
and builds a culture of contribution
where you and your people thrive-- together.
