Join us to discuss the different journeys of women in law – from different backgrounds and generations, how they have got to where they are and hopes for the future of the profession as they take part in a panel chaired by our very own Fran Eccles-Bech.
This event will be a celebration of the work and achievements of women in law, who inspired them, a look at the challenges faced and how far we have come in 100 years and to highlight what still needs to be done.
Employee wellbeing really matters when it comes to having happy, healthy, and productive people. In turn, this helps your business thrive. Especially during change and uncertainty.
Employee wellbeing is more than just how happy someone seems. It’s about finding balance. The recipe is simple: Healthy employees = healthy business. Good wellbeing is directly impacted by how engaged your people feel and how well they’re performing against expectations.
Are your people set up to weather the storm?
As you might expect, companies whose employees are highly engaged before a recession are better equipped to weather the storm. That’s because their people feel connected to the purpose and are happy to go the extra mile – often call discretionary effort. They pull together, roll up their sleeves to respond to market turmoil.
Company culture plays a big part here. Especially when it comes to managing people in a recession. Transparency is critical and goes far beyond sharing company financial, ethical, and operational information. It also refers to employers and employees being open with each other. About how they’re feeling and performing.
Set goals for clarity during tough times
Having clear goals will keep your people engaged and on-track. That's a critical success factor, not just during tough times. Everyone is focused on the same destination, just via different routes.
Setting goals during a crisis helps to motivate and align individual, team, and department work. In uncertain times, ease stress and ambiguity by collaborating to set. And focus on professional development to build resilience, helping your people to prepare for the challenges they’ll be facing.
But beware. During tough times, goals need frequent reviews as priorities and objectives adapt to the situation. An outdated goal can have a negative impact on engagement, performance, and wellbeing.
