Working With Less Staff

The reality is if you have to work with less staff then you should start learning to cope quickly. If the manager of the department keeps complaining and becomes a victim then everyone loses. Since you are in the situation you should decide immediately that it is not an ideal situation and at the same time make a commitment to putting your best foot forward. Here is an easy to follow guide if you find your department has shrunk.

1. Choose your attitude. Positive attitudes in workplace are contagious and positive people are proven to be more productive
2. Keep effective communications flowing – Make sure your staff is informed about what is happening. Make sure to search for positive stories to talk about
3. Set an interim strategy that is aligned to the overall strategy
4. Build flexible team members and remove any role ambiguity or conflict in the workplace
5. Agree reporting lines and aim for seamless services
