Boost Your Whole Team Through the COVID Blues
Your team is so much more than just their job descriptions.
People are multifaceted. This one goes home and works for hours on his skills at this hobby, this one worked for years in this other field and still has a lot of connections and skills there.
In an office environment, though, it's easy to treat people as known quantities when they're really like icebergs:
Most of them is hidden.
How do you leverage all that potential and engage those skills and energies? Can you get them to look on their work and coworkers with fresh eyes?
Bring in a skilled team of facilitators to host a retreat.
When you disrupt the work environment, you disrupt all the ingrained dynamics that hide all the changes, growth, and extra skills employees have.
Facilitators might be necessary to draw people out of their shells, but they will certainly allow you to participate so you can let them analyze all the dynamics in play instead of having to stay aloof.
Professional observers and the exercises they bring to get your team working creatively together can refresh and enliven your workplace, updating those old dynamics.
There are even options available if you're struggling against COVID lockdowns.
