Many companies have made the decision to begin furloughing and laying off employees in the past five months. As businesses begin the process of returning to a new normal, leaders must consider the approach they are taking to bring those employees back. To maintain a positive company culture and keep your employees loyal to your company, you must go about this carefully. Are you re-onboarding your staff? If so, how?
Anyone can manage a team of people, but it takes a special type of leader to inspire and motivate a workforce. While some people seem like they are born to be leaders, being a good leader is a trait that is learned and practiced constantly.

Leaders during a time like this, have to take a different approach to motivate their teams.

As businesses begin to reopen, there can be a lot to consider before you start reopening your business in full force. Here are a few tips to consider before you start embarking on reopening your business completely:
Each year the HR laws update and change to accommodate the current environment we live in. These new laws help protect employee rights and bring clarification to the employer’s responsibilities. These laws help employees feel safe and secure in their work environment, which, in turn, upgrades your company culture.

A good leader for a startup is not necessarily a good leader for an established bank or other slow and steady business. But all leaders need to set goals, SMART goals, and make sure they follow up on the results.
They say in the movies, write what you know. So I’ll share an experience we’ve had. An applicant sends a great cover letter. The interview on the phone is fun and it turns out we both speak French and we both cried when Guns and Roses came back to the concert. She’s a “Perfect Fit For The Company” I think in her 2nd (and final) interview. I don’t need to call references and I’ll overlook the fact that she was at her last job for 4 months and the one before for 3 months. She’s smart and funny and I love her and it’s going to be great.
