Wondering how to navigate team anxiety over job security? Share your strategies for easing fears and embracing change.
-
- Host a "Worry Wednesday" where team members can voice their fears openly. Sometimes, just saying "I'm scared" out loud can deflate the terror balloon. Plus, you might find some fears are based on misinformation you can quickly correct. - Organize a "Future-Proof Fair" where team members can learn about upcoming changes and how their current skills fit in. It's like a career carnival - fun, informative, and way less scary than imagining the worst. - Recruit volunteers to be "Change Cheerleaders." Their mission? To find and share positive aspects of the changes. It's amazing how contagious enthusiasm can be! People aren't afraid of change, they're afraid of loss. Avoid dismissing fears and focus on the opportunities within the change.
