Communication

Change means getting employees involved

If changes are on the horizon, think about who is affected and who needs to get involved in the process of change. Let your employees know how you will be asking them to get involved: is it a case of informing them, inviting them to cooperate or involving them in decisions?

Team and work culture

You are a role model

Dependability, willingness to help, mutual respect and a bit of humour within the team: as a manager, you are a high-profile role model and ‘set the tone’. Think about your own behaviour and try to lead by example.

Make room for learning

Nothing motivates people more than learning new skills and developing themselves further. Most learning takes place ‘on the job’ and thus encourages employees to share experiences – either through a mentoring programme or by making the sharing of experiences a regular agenda item during weekly meetings.

Work-life balance

Check out other working (hours) models

It's common for more than one working model to be adopted at a business: part-time, annual working time, job sharing or working from home are just a few options. Take due note of customer and employee requirements, business needs and statutory framework conditions. Use this as the basis for reviewing what models might be feasible.

Introduce short daily meetings

For example, when everyone has arrived, a maximum of 15 minutes and preferably standing up: at short daily meetings, everyone talks about what happened yesterday, where any problems occurred and what lies ahead today. This kind of short discussion is an efficient way of keeping teams informed and coordinating them.

Workplace

Create space and light

Space to move around, light, air conditioning and little noise are the main factors that characterise a pleasant workplace. Check whether there are measures that you can implement: simple steps are often all it takes to improve the overall situation. A bit more space between desks, soundproofing between workstations or the option to adjust the lighting for individual workstations.
