Business
For better or worse, the pandemic ushered in a new work era — how we work, where we work, and what we expect from our employees has changed. As small businesses work to find an equilibrium, there’s a lot of uncertainty about what the new norm should be. This episode, join us as we discuss setting expectations for your employees, determining what those expectations should be, and why clear communication is key, even if you’re still figuring it all out.
Setting expectations for your team is a crucial task. However, in our current work environment where the playbook seems ever-evolving, that process can seem easier said than done. For many business owners in the creative industry, defining these expectations comes with a boatload of questions — what should they encompass? Which expectations are outdated, and which need to be reiterated? How do we strike a balance between flexibility and productivity?
This week, we discuss where we find ourselves in this ongoing process. Join us as we explore the nuances of expectation-setting in this new era, and why clear communication is the key to getting you and your team on the same page.
