  1. Keep Things Organized! By maintaining organization, you can provide your employees advance notice on upcoming projects, or change in deadlines. Surprises are great in some areas of life, but work is not one of them. Preparation creates better results in their work and makes everyone’s job easier.

  2. Communicate Openly! If there are issues with administration, layoffs, budget cuts, or any other changes that can shake up a company, then be honest with employees. By being open and honest with your team, they at least have the opportunity to prepare for the future. Honesty and transparency are vital because these are your teammates; it is their business as well! Prove to your employees that they can trust their livelihood with you by being honest and maintaining open lines of communication. 

  3. Set Goals for Your Team! By providing goals and allowing employees to use their own intellect and skills to reach them, you are giving them the freedom of discovering the best way for them to individually complete a task. Some studies show that productivity and overall happiness increase when people have some wiggle room to figure out their own way to meeting their goal.
