If not already asking team members in 121s, how they are, make sure this becomes a regular point of converation

When talking with team about their wellbeing, share examples of what has worked for them

Invest more in the relationship on a 121 basis with direct reports to create closer rapport, more trust and ability to be open with one another

Talk about non work things e.g. been to gym, did yoga yesterday, find journaling great etc.

Demonstrate as a manager, putting boundaries in place between personal and work e.g. don't respond/send e-mails late in evening or weekend, visibly say if need to leave at certain time to attend an exercise class etc.

Managers not to make a request of someone to do a task in an unreasonable timeframe e.g. at end of day ask for something needed now, causing someone to have to work late unexpectedly

Respecting time

Showing a genuine interest in the colleagues/employees day to day life. You need to start the conversation, even about something small to get the engagement.

start being genuine with it

2024-09-04 09:42:43 UTC

Appreciation of team members/colleagues. Doing a 'I am grateful for' 'Thank you to...' in team meetings/team chats/notice boards. Recognition can show care and can open other conversations.

offer managers more support re. how to talk about these things so they can do it a way that feels authentic to them. Also work with them to unpick some of the assumptions they may have that it will be a burden for others to hear from them.
