Activity 3.1 | Working from the Heart: Building Relationships with Employees

Everyone needs to feel valued. We work hard, feel tired at the end of the day and don’t want to go home feeling like no one noticed or cared. Managers can nurture relationships by consistently offering positive feedback. Recognizing the work people do can be a powerful motivator and can foster a more welcoming environment. If an activity doesn’t work out as planned, view it from another perspective. It could be a learning experience and encourage a plan B or C. Flexibility in childcare is a valuable skill.
