Before learning about covid-19, people spent more time in the office than at home, so, consequently, due to the proximity and frequency, solid relationships were created at work, the same ones that could influence significantly positive, generating a good work environment that could represent that extra reason to retain teams.
However, in the new normal, with teleworking, office colleagues are now physically separated, reducing meetings to virtual, scheduled and punctual meetings.
How to bring the good weather of yesteryear to today’s teleworking office? Proximity Peru, a smart technology solutions company, shares five tips to optimize the climate and labor relations in the new normal.
Build trust: In an environment of trust, employees will be able to get actively involved and increase their effectiveness. To achieve this, it is important that from the beginning the company maintains coherence between what it says and does in front of its collaborators, to understand that the word has a value and what is promised is fulfilled and to promote it in an environment of reciprocity.
On the other hand, creating spaces in which to strengthen relationships is essential to strengthen ties of trust: moments where people don’t talk about work, but about how we feel, what we want to do, among others; a moment of relaxation.
Congratulate achievements: Motivation is a key element for human beings to achieve their goals.
Although this can be obtained in various ways, congratulations to the good work that a collaborator or team does will help them feel recognized, valued and others are encouraged to excel in their work.
Provides autonomy: To improve the work environment, it is ideal for employees to have autonomy as this generates self-confidence and increases their productivity levels.
By trusting your team, promoting self-management and delegating tasks, you will build a solid, effective and independent support network.
Encourage training: Planning specialized workshops or courses to promote new logistical or operational knowledge will not only improve the productivity of your collaborators but will also give you an attractive differential against the competition.
One of the trends that has been developing in organizations in terms of training, and which is the case of Proximity Peru, is the concept of job coaching, in which the company identifies areas for improvement in soft or operational skills in its employees, and individualized advice is provided creating learning and improvement spaces for the evolution of talent.
Flexible schedule: In the new normal, the dynamics of work were transformed. Working hours are also the only available hours that people have to carry out activities of basic necessity or attend to issues even of a family nature (buying a medicine, going to the bank, among others).
Understanding this new life dynamic and giving the employee flexibility of time is to be one step ahead in the management of labor relations.
For example: give the facility for a collaborator to disconnect 20 minutes to carry out a specific activity, and be aware that he can balance the suspended time at another time.
