WS1493: Questions to Ask Employees to Show You Care | Whitney Sewell

Published: Nov. 22, 2022, 8 a.m.

It\u2019s not always easy to build an authentic and caring relationship with your employees. It\u2019s even harder now in the world of remote work setup where our primary forms of communication are online meetings and digital messaging with a limited chance at face-to-face encounters. Yet, one-on-one meetings are still very much a critical component of employee, team, and business success.

That\u2019s our topic in today\u2019s episode. It is essential for business leaders or managers and employees to stay connected and aligned in order to increase productivity and achieve business goals. Hence, we, at Life Bridge Capital, have started conducting one-on-one conversations with each employee inspired by the concept of alignment meetings of Don Wenner in his book, \u201cBuilding An Elite Organization\u201d. If you want to know more about the process and the topics that we\u2019re talking about in these crucial meetings, listen now. Let\u2019s show our employees that we genuinely care about them. It\u2019s good for our business and more so for our soul and well-being.
