Does this sound like you or your employees?
- “Over the past four years I’ve had two years with no raise, one year with a significant pay cut, and one year with only a small raise.”
- “While my organization is surviving, we are still struggling and budget cuts seem never-ending.”
- ”We need to add staff, but since we are so strapped we aren’t hiring the necessary people we really need to get the job done. Everyone is doing more with less; we are working more hours, and the end isn’t in sight.”
- “I have a lot of initiatives and projects I would like to work on that I think would add value, but with the current workload, there is not enough time or resources.”
- ”I’m not learning and growing in my job. I don’t see many opportunities for professional development, other than the occasional webinar or a local conference with a low cost.”
