Operational, Commercial and People management, monitoring and performance issues are top priorities, according to survey respondents, all requiring immediate specialised training for effective Up/Re/Cross-skilling.
Amongst the 512 respondents to the survey conducted between 9th and 23rd June online via social media channels LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and an extensive emailing list, 37% were female and 67% were male. Amongst these, 80% belong to senior and middle (59%/21%) management while 43% work in an organisation that employs over 50 people and 34% in one with a headcount of less than ten.
Regarding communication within companies, 90% feel that overall new methods and processes of working were established quickly however 80% of respondents do feel that training requirements on critical sills amongst which effective communication, situational leadership and remote working strategies have proven to be an absolute necessity.
The top challenges faced by leadership was measuring productivity, trust in employee engagement and finding a system for personnel collaboration.
While unemployment, losing team-bonding and survival of the business are major concerns as expressed in the survey’s open questions, there are plenty of notable best practices. Conducting webinars and online courses, providing employees with training opportunities and enhancing staff engagement are some of the most frequently mentioned practices that spurred respondents’ motivation during lockdowns and gave them greater work satisfaction even during this very unstable period.
Finally, while momentum points to what is now termed a “low-touch economy” it is clear we are witnessing an acceleration of digitalisation and the natural transformations required in our structural, operational, financial and people management models, especially in industries which lagged in recent years.
It is paramount that both as business leaders and conscious citizens we make the distinction between physical distancing and social proximity, respect the former and honour the latter, build a sense of meaningful trust and swiftly capitalise on our opportunity to design and adopt flexible and resilient environments within which we may operate, lead and thrive.
