Leading A Team Through Difficult Election Times

  • Résumé

  • Welcome to another Five-Minute Morning! With November around the corner, it’s time to talk about how business owners and leaders can support their teams and maintain a positive workplace atmosphere as the year wraps up. In this episode, we dive into why holidays and election season can create tension at work and how to navigate these challenges to end the year on a high note. Key Takeaways: 1. Understand the Season’s Impact on Retention Studies show that nearly 44% of employees consider leaving their jobs during holiday breaks, and 1 in 5 follow through within a month of returning. These insights are key as we approach Q1 goals for the upcoming year. 2. Acknowledge the Tension and Emotions at Play Holidays can be bittersweet for many—evoking memories of family dynamics or lost loved ones. Add to this the upcoming election, and many employees may be feeling additional anxieties. Recognize these emotions and consider ways to accommodate them through thoughtful leadership. 3. Support Mental Well-being Leaders can reduce stress by offering flexible options like remote work days and creating spaces for mental breaks. This shows employees that their well-being is a priority and fosters a positive, supportive atmosphere. 4. Foster Community with Holiday Traditions Workplace traditions like holiday parties or Secret Santa activities go beyond simple fun—they build camaraderie and create a family-like environment, especially valuable for employees who may not have family nearby. 5. Manage Political Conversations Respectfully With 60% of employees discussing politics at work, set boundaries to keep discussions respectful and productive. Consider designated spaces or channels for these dialogues, and establish guidelines to ensure inclusivity and focus. 6. Encourage Civic Engagement Give employees time to vote, showing that their voices matter not only in the workplace but in the larger community as well. This demonstrates your commitment to their role as engaged citizens.
