Wordless Wednesday | Chain Reaction – Team Machine

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended nearly every aspect of our daily lives; from the way we spend our leisure time down to our work routine.

Nothing brings people together better than delicious food and drinks. A favorite food can evoke a memory or aid a conversation. It can bring together different cultures or unite people on a special day. Despite all the changes that have occurred over the past year, one thing that remains constant is our love for food.

Recognizing an employee’s hard work, team spirit, and outstanding contributions has always been important for team morale and motivation, but how do you uphold a tradition like “employee of the month” in the new world of remote work? 

Effective relationship management is at the core of everything successful businesses do. If a company can establish a great working relationship with its employees, the result is more productivity, greater employee retention, and a winning culture where everyone is in lockstep and focused on accomplishing the goals of the business.

First impressions matter in the workplace as much as they do on a first date.

COVID-19 has forced companies across the country to adopt new ways of working. Many of those processes and structures may be worth keeping for the long haul—and not purely for the sake of employees’ health and safety.

Gone are the days when employees were supposed to deliver their duties at their workplace without expecting anything more than remuneration in return. Today, a lot more than simple labor commitment is expected from an employee. They need to connect emotionally and with the organization’s goal. This emotional connection engages employees at their workplaces and ultimately results in improved efficiency and performance. Did you know that 60% of workers would be more productive if they felt happy at work? Studies prove that better-engaged employees bring organizations benefits in the form of higher customer satisfaction levels, improved productivity, and greater profits.
