Let's face it, it's been a stressful few years. We're all looking for a little more calm in our personal lives and our work lives. The Great Resignation showed us that employees are tired and burned out, and a lot of times, looking for more meaning in their lives and especially in their work. As a leader in your organization, how can you impart a sense of calm with your employees? I believe it starts with three main ideas:
Have a plan. This includes a basic plan for crisis communications, but also a plan for how to communicate your values, mission, vision and goals on an everyday basis. When your workforce is buying into your values, you can use that messaging to create a safe space for ideas and input. This helps create a more stable and calm working environment. Communicate, communicate, communicate. In my experience working with agencies and organizations, chaos is created when there is a communication vacuum. What fills the vacuum? Disinformation, rumors and anger. Not very calming. By creating a regular channel for communication and feedback, you can begin to create a sense of calm in your organization. Don't ignore employee wellness and self-care. Are they reaching out to you for help and guidance? Or maybe they just need you to listen. Going on a periodic "listening tour" and meeting your employees where they're at (in their office environments) can be a start toward creating calm. What are their values? What do they need to be successful in their work? Create calm by listening, empowering and involving employees in the solutions to their challenges.
