Slowing down to listen: The critical importance of slowing down to truly understand employee needs through curiosity-driven conversations and active listening to both management and frontline employees.
Maintaining a balanced approach: The necessity of balancing employee needs with those of the business and customers, ensuring that no stakeholder's needs overshadow the others for sustainable and effective workforce management.
