Are you a good enough employee?

Oct 02, 2024

We are in the last quarter of the year! Hard to believe. Now is the time to look at your team goals for the year (if you haven’t been paying attention) and ensure you have the time and resources to get things done.

It is also a great time to start talking about holiday schedules to make sure you have everything covered. The next 3 months can be incredibly stressful - plan ahead and help your team.

REMINDER:

I have my Reduce Stress for Managers class in Oct (I’ve also got one scheduled for Nov). These will be amazing as you prep for next year. Sign up today.

This shift aims to create a fairer and more balanced evaluation process, emphasizing collaboration and team dynamics over individual achievements. As companies adopt these methods, employees may need to focus more on team relationships and peer impressions to be seen as "good employees."
