Managing Teams Through Change | Episode 2 | Recruitment and Beyond Podcast

Managing teams through change when times are stressful or difficult is one of the biggest challenges facing leaders. 

Whether that is through a recession, a global pandemic or perhaps a challenge internally, be it a takeover or redundancy. All of these situations are challenging, but given the right advice and a strong mental attitude, bringing your teams through the other side is possible. 

Natalie and Ewan talk about the importance of transparency and clear communication. There are no issues with being honest and upfront about the business's challenges. People will find it easier to manage bump in the road or difficult news when they know what's coming. 

There is a challenge when managing teams through change that you can tell them too much, but in reality, without giving away company secrets, it is so important to give as much information as possible. 

Other approaches include reverse mentoring, where senior executives spend time with junior employees to understand their challenges, helping them adapt their approach to change management. 

Also, checking in with your team, and spending time finding out how they are is crucial. While you want to give them busines critical information, you also need to spend some time finding out how they are managing the change happening to the company.
