A strong start to 2009

On Company - Tuesday, January 06, 2009

On the television and in the newspapers, gloomy financial news piles up day after day. Companies both large and small are struggling. You see news like…the stock market is crashing, banks are failing, mortgage companies are failing, the housing meltdown, and unemployment is skyrocketing. If it wasn’t for the bad news, there'd be no news at all. One thing that all these recurring news stories do is cause a large amount of stress. This stress is both emotionally and physically devastating and has a significant workplace impact. When a body is under stress, the endocrine system releases high levels of cortisol and adrenaline which inhibit a person’s access to their creativity. However, uncertain economic times demand the highest levels of creativity. You need more from your staff, not less. Your company needs new ways to increase productivity, enhance your services and get new business. You can’t do this in “fight or flight” mode. In 2009 your company will either thrive, survive or die. We can help yours be one of the few that choose to thrive. At this key turning point in the economic cycle you may be unsure about how to boost morale and motivate your staff.
