One of the best things to come out of the whole Covid experience was the rise and acceptance of emotional intelligence.
· Self-awareness
· And awareness of others
· Is the key to emotional intelligence.
· That’s what is most attractive to employees
· In the post-covid world of today and tomorrow.
Employees want to know that their leaders know and care about them. The days of managers acting like ‘McGruff the Crime Dog’ or bullies were put to bed by this recent pandemic. How employees were treated as businesses were quickly closing, how managers treated and communicated with employees during the long closure period, and how they were welcomed back (or not) all combine to determine whether companies are fully staffed today. If you’re struggling to find employees, review how you acted during the employment chaos of the past 2½ years. And while employees have long memories, a little extra compassion now can and will go a long way in mending any relationships that may have frayed with your employees. If you want your employees to be happy, practice compassion; if you want to be a happy and more successful leader, practice compassion. Your employees want to know that you care today.
