Set Your Company Up for Success in the New Year by Working with Source One
The New Year is the perfect time to evaluate your business. From engagement to having the right people in the right roles, Source One can help! Here are four ways you can start your business on the right foot.
Reset
December may seem like the time when everyone needs a break. In reality, January can often be a better time to reset. With the holiday buzz fizzling off, give employees a breather. Consider giving everyone a day or two off at the beginning of the year to rest and recover. When you come back to work, host a team meeting and review what went well and areas where you would like to see improvement. Allow employees to give feedback. Celebrate wins together. Use this month to plan and avoid last year’s stressors by identifying when you were understaffed. Make this the month you take a 360 snapshot of your business and decide what shifts you want to make.
Consider customer processes
An often-overlooked part of business is customer experience. Go through your entire process from start to finish as a customer. What went well? Was there a time in the process when you felt lost in the funnel? Was technology hindering or helping your decision? Were the load times on the site fast enough? How long did you have to wait? All of these questions can help you understand what it is like to be your customer. Use that insight to make adjustments.
team engagement
Start the new year by reminding people why you do what you do. Take this time to cast vision. Remind employees and yourself of what you want to accomplish this year. Look for ways to reconnect. The busyness of the holidays can cause teams to feel a bit spread out. Bring people together by implementing team meetings and one-on-ones. Remind employees that you are available if they have questions. You can also use this time to evaluate who you might want to promote or to invest in providing everyone with opportunities for continuing education. According to Forbes, 44% of companies do not provide a compelling career path. Look for ways to invest in your current team and their career goals.
Focus on Hr
