So I’m sure you can relate to the following; What’s next? Yes, not sure, maybe so? Is this something that’s right for me? These are all legitimate questions that an organization can ask at any time, let alone during a pandemic. It’s important as a business owner to lay out what works for your organization and foremost for your clients as this ends up being a collaboration in order for your business to thrive. The first thing you need to understand is that change is good. I understand the saying that “if it’s not broken then why fix it” that may hold true to somethings but sometimes modifications are essential. You can still keep the same idea, a niche that has set you apart from your competitors and has provided your business the foundation but would you pass up an opportunity for a smooth workforce and or operation? This is why strategic planning in the workplace is of the essence. Things to consider, have a timeline drawn upon how you foresee your organization in 30, 60, and 90 days. Make sure to evaluate your organization every quarter and if in a pandemic, every few weeks as rules, laws, guidelines are ever-changing, along with customer preference, products, ideology, and foremost the employee’s needs. Make sure to also research and connect with all parties that are the foundation of your organization. And stay focused but be realistic. In doing so, you are getting that 180-degree functionality instead of the 90, which can make a world of difference in today’s society.
