Now more than ever we need to invest in good employees. Many staff are fearful of the future, which does not bode well for productivity or performance. How can staff be expected to work effectively with the real or perceived threat of redundancy hanging over them? Even if they survive "cut backs" or restructuring, how will they cope with the extra hours and stress which is likely to be placed upon them? Are your employees working long hours or coming into work when they are ill? If so, it is very likely that their performance will drop and productivity will fall. Has your organisation got the resources to cope?
- If you manage people, have you got the necessary skills to lead your team through these difficult times? How do you manage conflict in the workplace, which is becoming an increasing problem in many organisations. Are your staff job hunting behind your back, or are they totally committed to your company, inspired by your leadership? This is the time to KEEP good staff so you keep ahead of your competitors when new opportunities arise and don't have to invest heavily in recruiting new employees, who will cost your organisation a lot of money before they become effective.
- If you are HR, are you feeling under pressure? Are staff not performing as they could do? Are line managers coming to you to sort their problems out? Have you been asked to implement redundancy programmes or developmental strategies for members of staff, but are not sure where to start? We have a team of HR specialists who can help you manage your workload, implement new policies and procedures and adviise on employment law, including how to handle redundancies, compromise agreements, dismissals, TUPE, health and safety, etc.
- Are you an individual member of staff who is experiencing stress at work, perhaps fearing job loss and receiving very little support from your manager? This is the time to review your own personal strategy.
Wherever you are in the organisation, do you want things to change for the better? If so, WorkScales can help. We offer a range of services designed to support you and motivate your staff through periods of change. We believe change can be positive and needs to be communicated in a positive way.
We can also help you undertake learning needs analysis, implement new learning and development policies and procedures, KPI's, identify talent, career transition, provide interim HR support and deliver change management workshops, stress management workshops/counselling, personal coaching and introduce coaching skills for managers. We can also provide intervention and mediation to avoid conflict and build cohesive teams.
In today's economic climate, investing in your managers and ensuring that communication is improved throughout your organisation makes perfect sense. Now, more than ever before, good management skills are essential. All managers need to know how to steer their employees through this recession and come out the other side stronger.
