Every day is a great day to appreciate your employees. Show them you care today.

Regardless of the nature of your business, when an employee is more engaged in their work, the outcome always improves. If you want to ensure that your business is sustainable, you need to make sure your team holds the same standards you do.
When employee engagement increases, you can expect:
· Increased motivation leads to better time management.
· Better focus results in fewer errors.
· Higher chance of completing tasks.
· A positive work ethic and attitude are often contagious.
The concept is simple, motivated employees are more invested in the result of their efforts. Even a small shift in behavior will lead to measurable improvements for any employee. Once an employee hits that sweet spot and feels a valuable return from their work, the potential for improvement just continues to grow.
To develop more strategies our Great Engagement: Engage and Mobilize Employees Training Program focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on a leader’s ability to engage his or her employees.

Leaders in transition face a steep learning curve with high expectations and often receive insufficient support to be successful in their new role. In fact, research has shown that nearly 50% of leader transitions fail.
A leader in a new role must quickly adapt to new processes, perspectives, and expectations. There is also an expectation for them to ramp up their skills fast and build new key relationships. Leaders often struggle in any one or more of these areas.
These struggles create risks that can have immense impacts on the business as they can reduce productivity, performance, and engagement of the incoming leader and out further into the organization.
Not addressing these struggles, impact not only the transitioning leader, but their direct reports, partners, other internal as well as external stakeholders including customers.
If this is you or your new and emerging leaders are struggling, then our Leader Foundations Leadership Academy program will be beneficial.
The Leadership Academy is a customized program specifically created to support new leaders build a solid foundation to succeed in their new roles.
The leader will interact with other leaders in a similar situation and will develop or strengthen the required skills to level up and increase their effectiveness.
Your organization may be eligible for up to $100,000 to help train your employees.

Customer service employees are a direct reflection of your business. Disgruntled and dissatisfied employees are much more likely to have unpleasant interactions with customers. Similarly, engaged and committed employees will generally act with the best intentions in mind.
Why are engaged employees better for customer service?
· Better at responding to sensitive situations.
· An employee’s attitude is the first thing a customer gets to experience from your business.
· More likely to be more knowledgeable and helpful.
· More attentive and aware of the situation at hand.
At the end of the day, you want to make sure you have employees that represent you in the best way possible. If you start by working on employee engagement, those other benefits will naturally follow.

You’re not in full command of your mind. If you were, you would choose to entirely silence the Saboteurs in your head.
If you were in full command of your mind, you would:
- Choose to not stress out over what you can’t control
- Push away self-doubts
- Recover from disappointments immediately and
- Spend little time in anger, regret, or blame.
If you’re able to do this congratulations! If you’re not, get back in the driver’s seat to build your self-command muscle and shift from a negative to a positive mind set.

It’s no surprise that happier, more engaged employees are more likely to keep showing up. As human beings, it’s easier to stay motivated when we have something to look forward to.
According to recent reports, over 60% of businesses have a harder time keeping employees rather than hiring them in the first place.
This isn’t something to take lightly, as more employees continue to report their dissatisfaction, now is the time for business owners to act and ensure their workforce has the proper tools to feel confident in their roles.
When you show employees you’re invested in them, they’re more likely to become invested in you and your business. Instead of falling on the wrong side of the statistic, take control of your future while boosting morale and improving the dynamic of your company all at the same time.

Have you ever walked into work only to sit down and realize that an entire eight hours has passed by? Not only that but have you also had the feeling of not accomplishing nearly enough? While the day has seemed to escape you, there are ways to accomplish more in less time that won’t leave you with an out-of-body experience at the end of the day.
Here are three tips for accomplishing more in your workday in less time.
1. Plan Ahead of Time
Planning your workday ahead of time and creating a comprehensive checklist to follow can help you see exactly what you accomplish each day. Even if you aren’t able to finish everything on the list, seeing checked-off boxes will help you see that you didn’t “accomplish nothing” during the day.
This idea also helps ensure you don’t forget any important tasks you need to get done each day. You can prioritize each thing by order of importance and work your way down the list. After all, accomplishing one major task is going to feel far more rewarding than a group of smaller tasks.
For example, if you’re on a deadline and you need to submit a major project proposal or article to your boss by the end of the day, that needs to be done first. Accomplishing that time-sensitive task is going to feel more rewarding than if you decided to clean your office or reply to secondary emails instead.
2. Don’t Overextend Yourself
This tip may seem counterproductive, but hear me out. Have you ever felt completely burnt out during the workday? Compare how you felt during that time to a day where you were completely determined and motivated to get work done. Which of those two days did you accomplish more?
I’m going to take a wild guess and say it was when you felt motivated. If you refrain from completely filling your work docket, you’re going to be far less likely to burn yourself out. Allow time to complete each task to avoid a rush job and space out your assignments as best you can. This way, you can accomplish everything you need to in a tighter timeframe.
3. Follow Your Internal Body-Clock
Are you a day or night person? Maybe you prefer afternoons instead? Regardless of your preferred time of day, you should plan to get the most work done during that time. Generally, these preferred times are when we’re the most alert, therefore, they’re the best time to get the most work completed.
If you want to:
- Be more empathetic of yourself and others
- Achieve your goals with more ease
- Have greater professional and personal achievements
- Have more satisfying relationships
- Experience better health and
- Greater happiness
Enroll in the Positive Intelligence®: Mental Fitness Foundation Program to:
- Develop greater mastery over your own mind
- Quiet the negative and
- Activate the positive region of your brain.

If you work with a team made up of people from different generations, then you know how difficult it can be to create an engaging environment for everyone.
Here are some quick tips to help you adjust your workflow techniques if you’re managing employees of vastly different ages:
- Email is a form of communication that most generations understand very well.
- Set up 2-way mentoring relationships between the generations to promote learning from one another and understanding the other’s perspective
- Always be open to feedback and constructive criticism of the work environment. Employee satisfaction is positively correlated with engagement.
At the end of the day, you just need to make sure you understand how each individual employee works best. People work better when they feel understood and like their skills are being utilized properly.

Who are your Saboteurs?
Saboteurs are the voices in your head that generate negative emotion in the way you handle life’s everyday challenges. They represent automated patterns in your mind for how to think, feel and respond.
Saboteurs cause all of your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness. They sabotage your performance, wellbeing and relationships.
Perhaps you have a strong Judge Saboteur that beats you up repeatedly over mistakes, wakes you up in the middle of the night worrying about something, or you judge others or your situations.
Known as the Master Saboteur, your Judge works with one or more Accomplice Saboteurs to hijack your mind and cause most of your setbacks.
You can’t defeat an adversary you don’t see or one that pretends to be your friend. The first step to conquering your Saboteurs is to identify them and expose their lies and limiting beliefs.
Sign up for the three-minute Saboteur Assessment to discover your saboteurs. https://redworkscoaching.com/services/executive-coaching/positive-intelligence-increasing-your-mental-fitness/
