When the leaders are intentional in how they design and run the meetings, they create time and space for more human connections at the same time. Encourage flexibility and creativity of using all available channels and tools for connection and communication (in distributed workforce). Pick the right one, not the default one. Have a conversation about the organization’s values and norms with your team often that everybody is on the same page. Frequent voluntary turnover rates have a negative impact on your organization in more ways than one. By noticing signs of toxicity early, leaders can act and make organizations more attractive to stay. Resignation decisions that are spontaneous and impulsive are often not in the best service of your wants. When you catch yourself in those thoughts, take a pause first. Get the clarity on “what you truly want” before impulsively quitting the job. Have an open conversation with your manager. “Things are not as big, as personal, or as permanent as you think.” Stay Connected: Karan's website: Karan's LinkedIn: RLD Group’s website: RLD Group’s LinkedIn: RLD Group on Twitter: Lisa Duerre on LinkedIn: Ctrl + Alt + Delete with Lisa Duerre™ on YouTube:
