Looking for tips on coping with the recession?

In these difficult economic times it is more important than ever that businesses invest in the health and wellbeing of their workforce in order to successfully manage change and optimise productivity.

How are you supporting your managers during the recession?

Recent research indicates that the behaviour of managers can have an impact on the health and wellbeing of their staff; therefore how managers engage with their teams as the recession deepens will become more important in ensuring that motivation is kept high. Businesses that can maintain high morale will be better placed to survive in what will become an increasingly competitive environment, so it is important to ensure that your managers are suitably equipped to effectively deal with difficult people management issues.

Steps businesses can take to support managers may include:

• Providing manager training on how to deliver difficult messages and how to deal effectively with the psychological impact upon themselves
• Ensuring that managers are adequately trained and supported in managing change and enable managers to effectively deal with ‘survivor syndrome’ and maintain team motivation.
• If your organisation has an EAP, make sure that managers understand how it can help them and their teams during major change
