Day after day the news fills our minds with reports of how bad things are and it never seems to get any better. Most of us go on with our daily routine and don’t stop to give it a second though, but should we?
Some of us have a responsibility to pay attention to the daily issues that impact the dedicated people who work for us. Have we ever stopped to wonder how the daily drama impacts our employees work product? When we look at our weekly reports and wonder why things may be amiss in a certain department or with a certain staff member, we normally consider the usual suspects; is he/she unhappy with the job and so on, but we rarely stop to take a moment to put ourselves in their shoes.
This is a wake-up call to the executives of the world, a reminder that without those who work for us, we would not be where we are today. Our “gratitude” is not just making sure they are paid, while we hide in our glass offices like evil overlords sitting high above the village. As a matter of fact, as times in the world get worse it is our responsibility to show our staff that we share the same concerns and that we do see them as much more than an employee ID number.
Get out of your glass office and make your staff laugh! Step outside your box and be part of the group joke with the staff, let them know that you are human and that you care about them!
At Modern Vision Media, it is not only a goal of upper management to make sure our staff enjoys their time in the office, it is our mandate! If upper management can’t get out there, tell a few jokes and have the staff laughing, then we are truly showing that we only care about our bottom line. We promote family and fun and from our perspective, it pays off in many ways.
So next time you are walking through your office and you happen to notice a staff member who looks concerned about something, stop and say hi. Tell a joke or do something to make the person smile and have a good day!
