An interesting article on Winning in Turbulence: What Does the Downturn Mean for My Business and How Will I Get Through It?, posted by Darrell Rigby, giving some thought of what is the right move for a company during the recession period which most of us are currently facing.

In summary, the author is discussing about the best strategies derive from 3 questions:

How is the slowdown affecting the industry I Compete in?
What is my company’s strategic position within that industry?
What level of financial resources can my company draw on to weather the downturn?

On top of that, the author did give some of moves that might be suitable.

If your company has a strong financial position:

Out-invest competitors in marketing to increase customer loyalty.
Attack or acquire weaker competitor, price product to gain share.

If your company has a weaker financial position:

Divest non-core assets and restructure the balance sheet
Accelerate decisions around reducing cost and debt
Seek alliances or mergers partners and dispose of anything that is not essential to survive
Reposition your business by selling weak operations and focusing on a sustainable core business.

Few Questions, to Get More Engaged with Your Employee.

Level of engagement between employer & its employee is very crucial in maintaining a good reputation and making sure a company runs smoothly without much uncertainty. There are so many ways of making the employee highly engaged with its employee. Below are few questions that an employer should ask its employee in order for them to understand more, hence, being more engaged.

Why did you want to work for this company?
What keeps you here?
Of all the work you have done to date, what have you enjoyed the most?
What are your strengths? Tell me about the things you do especially well.
Now tell me about the limitations. What would you want me to know about areas of weakness, difficulty and/or frustration for you?
With what kind of person do you work best?
Will you find it easy to tell me how you are feeling or thinking – or will I need to ask?
What kind of people do you not enjoy working with?
What is the best way for us to work together?
How often shall we meet & for how long?
What motivates you?
Do you have something you count, a kind of score, which helps you know how you have done each day or week? If yes, tell me about this measurement or score.
Tell me about the best reward or recognition you have ever received at work? Why was this so satisfying? How do you prefer to be recognized, e.g. a quiet “thank you” in private or recognition in front of peers, etc
What do you want to accomplish in your role in the next six months? What can I do to help/advise?
What do you think exceptional performance looks like in your role?

Again, remember, your employee is human after all. Little more effort in valuing them will make huge impact towards your relationship with them, thus, making it easier for you to work with them. Ask them not to work for you, but instead, work with you.
