Do you know what quality means to each of your employees? To what extent do people look at it in the same way? Everyone can have a different idea about what defines good quality. This is an example of one theme you could explore during a team activity for your organisation. During such an activity, you will visit checkpoints and perform challenges where the organisation itself is central. In this way, you can draw attention to your core values again or amplify their impact. For example, one activity might be, having all teams make a 20-second video about what quality means to them. When you put these videos together, it is immediately clear what the theme of quality means to the people in your organization. Not only on the day of the team building itself but also in the months after. It's a foundation you can build on...
What happens if you do nothing?
Investing in your team is a choice. Considering the impacts to your organisation due to the coronavirus, you may decide to not focus on your team as a priority at this point in time.
If you choose to take that course of action, it's very likely your employees will come to question why they are working at your organisation. And when this is not readily apparent, the glue that binds them to your organisation becomes thinner and thinner. And if you, as an employer, don't take action quickly, you're on a slippery slope. In the worst case, the bond is lost!
The most important capital asset a business has is its people. And, it's a shared mission, vision and values that are the glue that binds those people together. Whatsmore, employees who feel included, focused and engaged are productive employees.
Be kind to each other
It is both the companies themselves and the employees involved who have a choice to stay connected. As the founder of a team-building business, I know this only too well. Take care to ensure core values are cherished. When you let this be reflected in your HR smart activities that are not only educational but also fun, then you have gold in your hands. We do not solve the challenges that come with remote work immediately. But you can keep the fire burning by staying active and motivated to take the next steps. We are always happy to help you to do just that.
