“Good things take time, as they should. We shouldn’t expect good things to happen overnight. Actually, getting something too easily or too soon can cheapen the outcome.”
John Wooden
Change is inevitable in all aspects of life; it is not a matter of if, but when it will happen. Making a change usually requires time and effort, especially with changes in the business. By getting support from your employees, they will learn that it becomes manageable.
Getting Your Employees On Board
First, you need to make sure that your employees will adopt this change. There is an initial disruption when making changes to your business, but to minimize this disruption, make sure that your employees are provided with information about your plans. This will allow them to feel comfortable with the steps that are being taken as well as help them understand the reasoning behind these changes.
Next, you’ll need to implement the structure you want in order to make a change. What’s the best way to change your business to increase productivity and promote collaboration? Mentorship programs. A mentorship program is a way to make a sustainable investment in your company that can empower your employees while also fostering relationships between them. Through this, the change in your business will start at the individual level by gaining access to those who are more skilled or knowledgeable than them.
The Role of Mentorship
A mentorship program brings the time and effort you need for any change in business. Studies show that mentoring programs have positive effects on both the mentors and mentees. Mentorships can provide a feeling of being needed, socialization, and increased self-confidence to the individual being mentored. Therefore, bringing change to their work and an increase in their productivity, bringing a change to your business.
Leveraging the skills and knowledge of your employees can work to grow your business. Employees are the backbone of any company. With the right skills, they will do their jobs more efficiently, saving time and energy. This leaves them with more time to specialize in their specific field, which often results in more advanced knowledge that could lead to a higher-level position within the company.
