Workplace advice: As an employer, you can best navigate your way back to a strong business one employee at a time. To engage and motivate each employee, you need to surface what matters to each one: their “sweet spot.”
I always thought I was a good manager and a smart business owner. Not anymore. I feel outgunned by what’s happened with my employees. A third of them have left for “better” jobs. The ones who’ve stayed have made it clear they expect higher wages and to work from home when they want. The small business three of us started in 2016 may go belly-up this year.
We can’t raise our prices enough to keep pace with our employees’ higher wages because we can’t afford to lose customers. Our profits this quarter have gone from slim to none. Do employees not care anymore?When the pandemic forced employees to work from home, many discovered they enjoyed working with heightened levels of flexibility and freedom. A large percentage of them don’t want to return to the workplace and give up their autonomy.
As an employer, you can’t afford to think “employees.” You can best navigate your way back to a strong business one employee at a time. To engage and motivate each employee, you need to surface what matters to each one: their “sweet spot.” If you’ve not heard this term before, the sweet spot on a bat or racket is the area that makes most effective contact with a ball, resulting in the maximum response for a given amount of effort.
