Do You Encourage Cross Department Collaboration?

Most of us have tunnel vision and believe that what we do is more important than what another person contributes.   Customer Support feels that they make the company successful because they keep the customers happy.  It’s true, they do.  Yet the department is one of many other contributers who make up the whole…a successful company.

Without development, sales, marketing, finance, human resources, Customer Support may not have customers.

It’s important to be passionate about what you bring to the department, yet, step across the hallway and find out what the other important players of the company are doing.

How To Handle Stressful Economic Times

Managers and employees know when a company is in economic trouble.  Employees start hearing more customer complaints or the orders are slower, all part of the early warning system that the company is in trouble.   So how do you manage employees in stressful economic times?

“How Managers Can Handle Stess in Times of Economic Crisis” by Diane Brady on Businessweek.com.

The first thing to remember is that you alone cannot save the company. It’s important that you don’t stay at work beyond your personal limits— you must sleep, eat and exercise. Deprivation causes more stress, a sense of a lack of control and difficulty concentrating.

Is It Important That Your Employees Are Happy?

In managing employees, should you be concerned if they are happy?   Since most businesses are knowledge based, it makes sense that your employee’s well-being is important to the success of the company.  Granted employees are not happy all of the time and that isn’t your goal.  Rather creating a working relationship and environment where your employees feel their needs are recognized, along with the needs of the company, will build a strong culture.

There are many reasons that employees leave, though one of the top reasons is the manager/employee relationship.   Your role is to be aware of each of your employee’s strengths, weaknesses, career goals and other nuances that help you support and develop each person.
