I have been working with a client company for the past few days where the #humanresources team does not exist. It is a start up, and they haven’t yet felt the need to invest in a full time #hr team.
In the past few months, they have started experiencing dis-engagement & low #performance levels from their bright & well-educated young professionals.
I came on board as a #consultant and one of the first things I did was to #communicate with each individual of the organization.
And guess what! Just these well-intentioned, specific conversations have already given plethora of data points highlighting the reasons for the dip in performance and #engagement .
As I sift through these data points to make an action plan with the leadership team, I can’t help but wonder- what makes #communication such a difficult skill to acquire?
While it is the only way to achieve goals & revenue, yet the least amount of time & conscious effort is spent on improving our everyday #workplace communication.
They didn’t need a #hrconsultant , they just needed someone to come and have conversations with their teams.
If you’re leading a team, or part of HR team of your organization, then learn & practice effective communication. It’s no more an option, it’s a necessity.
