Cutting these items may seem like a good way to tighten the purse strings during a business contraction, but you may be doing long-term damage to your company culture.<\/p>\n
Your employees are your lifeblood, and cutting the very tools you need to maintain and improve productivity, stability and profitability is counterproductive. If anything, you need to increase spending on these aspects of your business.<\/p>\n
Uncertainty creates enormous stress and morale issues among your employees, and your team needs more hands-on attention to reduce anxiety and confusion. And the lack of face-to-face communication while employees are working from home exacerbates underlying problems that may have previously existed.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve already made these budget cuts, here are some yellow-light caution signals that you should watch for among team members. If you detect these signals \u2013 or if existing problems get worse \u2013 it\u2019s time to take action.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” top_margin=”20px” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=”h3″ style=”color-strip-reveal” color=”Accent-Color” text=”Yellow Indicators”]
Companies responding said they were increasing their attention and budget on employees to support the mental wellbeing and health of their team members and to help them balance their personal lives. They expressed a desire to get everyone involved in shared leadership through seeking their teams\u2019 ideas and input on workplace changes, training and communication. The reasons for their increased emphasis were retention, deeper employee engagement and solidifying their culture or making intentional shifts to improve it.<\/p>\n
If you are not among the companies that have maintained or increased your spending to improve your company culture, watch out for these indicators that employee engagement is dropping. It is time to take charge of your company\u2019s stability, profitability and growth by intervening with a well-designed and expertly implemented program to correct deficiencies.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][team_member image_url=”938″ team_memeber_style=”meta_below” link_element=”none” color=”Accent-Color” name=”Shelley Smith” job_position=”Social Science Officer” social=”#”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
