Comment aborderiez-vous les problèmes de moral du personnel résultant des changements de programmes liés au budget ?

Transparency is critical but to minimize lingering questions and concerns continue to maintain the dialog even if the news isn’t what they hope to hear. It will build trust.

This whole article in all it steps kind of misses the point, morale is not the goal, engagement is. Morale is short term happiness, engagement is long term belief in the mission. An engaged team can take bumps in the road such as budget changes and work out solutions. Sure morale might drop in the short term but it has no impact on the performance of an engaged team. The key is to make sure the team understand why the budget changed

First of all; 'opening' a dialogue shouldn't be necessary because there should be a continuous open dialogue with staff anyway. Starting a dialogue only when there are issues is both, too late and it doesn't build trust. Involving the team in problem solving can be helpful but this is where the leader needs to truly lead! Open "any ideas anyone?" forums will just result in the team losing faith in the leadership. Guided paths to solutions are likely to motivate and to engage the team.

Acredito que uma comunicação com a equipe, clara e transparente é fundamental num caso desses. Explicar os motivos das mudanças e as necessidades da empresa, fazem a diferença neste contexto.

Listen to the employees more. Create more channels where they can access the leaders and level the communication. Identify and fill the gaps of miscommunication. Acknowledging what's missing is good as long as we are able to dichotomize the controllable vs non-controllable and focus midterm efforts on the former and the long-term on the latter.

One thing that is most helpful is to cooperate with team members, work with them to figure out new ways to accomplish the goals set by upper management. A collaborative atmosphere lets everyone feel connected and that their contributions are appreciated. Help team members that are moving on or reassigned transition smoothly with training and encouragement. Never let someone feel their are being left out in the cold. And please don't forget to keep in touch, changing positions or even companies can feel like a divorce losing friends is always difficult.

Na fase de reavaliar as metas, é fundamental avaliar e discutir com a equipe, a necessidade de alterar as metas, de ter com a equipe um comprometimento do que é exequível fazer; com estas revisões o líder deve conseguir o envolvimento da equipe e trazer a equipe para os objetivos da empresa.

Teams appreciate an invitation to be involved in problem solving. By being transparent with your team members about the challenges facing the organization and engaging them in finding solutions, one can engender trust and unleash creativity. Schedule time to brainstorm solutions with the team. Establish guiding principles that will foster out of the box thinking and ask them question to help them uncover potential underutilized tools and resource that may exist in house and on-line. Encourage them to tap into their networks to learn. There are often free product trials and other offers that might be available. Most importantly, remaining positive and demonstrating a "can do attitude" will enable them to thrive during challenging times.

Doing more with less seems to be the theme today, I see this everywhere I go. As a consumer I find it frustrating to go to the grocery store and spend so much money for basically nothing. Go find a half gallon of ice cream it doesn't exist, the package looks like a half gallon (64 oz) however it's (48 oz). This is the new normal so when dealing with budgets cuts I will tell my team to work diligently to find suppliers we can use to deliver the same product and quality and still work within the budget. Sometimes maybe we curtail the advertising budget or request a savings from our advertisers. Being creative is paramount in these trying times.

Na criatividade de recursos, o exemplo que todo o mundo passou na pandemia, das reuniões pela internet é sem dúvida uma solução muito enriquecedora. E sem dúvida, numa reunião com a equipe, outras propostas podem ocorrer, para se chegar nos valores desejados. A comunicação e o trabalho em equipe, ajuda muito nesta fase.

I have always been a fan of team building exercises, I have been known to take my team out to dinner, indoor skydiving, on a boat outing, or just a barbeque at the office. these types of activities help connect people to people. Reaching out to coworkers in and out of your department help gain perspective. Having these connections at work can help you gather information and make you see things in multiple perspectives. This knowledge will help you be a more connected and productive team member. Friendships and having friends at work is healthy.

I tell people all the time train your staff well enough so they can go and work anywhere, treat them so well they wont want to leave. Having a well trained staff and showing them appreciation helps them connect with the company. knowing you value them enough to spend time and money on their education helps them become a part of the company.
