Teams appreciate a workplace that focuses on their well-being, leaving team members happier and staying with their companies for longer.
Managers should talk to their teams about their well-being regularly, but this is sometimes easier said than done, Anonimoo helps to highlight issues in the team and key topics to focus on within team meetings.
Here are some steps you can take to improve team discussions.
Listen to the team and repeat back what you've heard to make sure you've understood fully, working through each issue individually.
Think of open questions to help generate thorough discussions that lead the team to open up about problems, you can also use the Anonimoo dashboard to help.
