Managing Morale in a Downsized World

Call it what you want...rightsizing, downsizing, streamlining the organization...it's all the same. Less employees expected to deliver same or higher levels of work. Employees feel overworked, under paid, insecure and possibly guilty because they still have jobs. What to do?
Research shows that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations find more satisfaction and success in their work than people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealized. And companies that employ satisfied successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity and reduced turnover.

This seminar introduces you to a powerful tool to help you ease frustration and conflict and develop effective managers and teams despite downsizing and increased demands. You will be introduced to tools and techniques to help employees:

  • articulate their expectations
  • reflect on whether expectations are met or unmet and whether they are spoken or unspoken
  • create an action plan to meet expectations
  • learn how to adjust expectations when needed
