Ensure Team Productivity Through the Holidays

Ensure Team Productivity Through the Holidays

Dear Valued Client

We are entering the Season of Thanks, which means the hectic, happy yet stressful month of December is soon upon us. How can you make the balance of work and play work (if you will) for everyone on your team, including you?

Projects must progress.
People need personal time.
Everyone has different needs in striking that balance.

Tackle the challenge head on:

Meet with your team and put together a solid schedule for the month, with milestones and responsibilities logged in. Get agreement on what truly needs attention, and what might safely have “Early January” written against it.
Schedule days and afternoons off right now for everyone to get personal errands done without having to steal an extra hour around lunch, or similar ad-hoc informal schemes.
Give folks a few extra hours in the gaps between project milestones, staggered to keep all team bases covered.
Make it a rule that no one on an afternoon break may be called for less-than-urgent issues. Police this mandate actively (and follow it yourself!)

For more ideas for making the Holidays a lower-stress work time for all, check out our recent blog post. There's still time to make the season productive.

Connecting Your Team to Purpose

Our late October blog post about Team Purpose has been generating a lot of comments back to Brooke and Dave. People are engaging with the idea that the focus on a group’s core purpose can get lost in the day-to-day workplace hustle. Taking the breaks needed to reflect on and reconnect to the strategic role of the group, and how its outcomes support the organizational purpose, has clearly been a useful reminder for many!

Thank You!

As we approach Thanksgiving Week, we must take a moment to express how much joy and satisfaction we get from working with you, and all our clients, helping you to find purpose and raise engagement in both your work and personal lives.

We appreciate greatly the chance you all have given us to participate in your career and personal journeys. We look forward to continuing those journeys with many of you in 2017.
