If you’re interested in keeping employee motivation, morale, and engagement high despite the impending downturn in our economy, it’s important for you to “Recession Proof” your workforce. By Recession Proof, I mean do the things that help employees remain motivated, determined, and inspired during difficult times.
1.If Employees Are Overwhelmed, They’re Not Engaged
2.Employee Engagement is Most Important—And Most Challenging to Achieve—In Difficult Times
3.Give Employees As Much Control As Possible Over Their Work
4.Help your employees build self-efficacy and feel the “thrill of victory.”
5.Keep the dream alive and celebrate your wins
6.Communicate, communicate, communicate
7.Strengthen relationships
8.Remove Unnecessary Sources of Stress
If You Recession Proof Your Workforce…

· Remain upbeat and determined, despite the difficulties you face.
· Focus their attention on making a difference, rather than on complaining about
things they can do nothing about.
· Handle greater challenge, pressure, and demands without becoming stressed.
