REHAU presented its first Real Talk webinar titled “A Conversation on Leading Your Team through Disruption.” REHAU Americas CEO Dr. Thomas Troeger invited clients and industry partners to join him for an open conversation on leading through disruptive times when facing challenges such as supply chain issues, recession fears and labor shortages. The webinar recording and links to tools are available on REHAU’s website.
Communication, retention, execution
Troeger provided insight into strategies he uses to increase employee satisfaction, prepare for change and set manageable goals for his team in ever-changing environments.
- Communication is important to achieving common goals, being completely aligned as an organization, making sure each person on the team knows the bigger picture and how they can contribute to the end solution.
- Use employee surveys and benchmarking to constantly evaluate value as an organization.
- Ongoing training is key to ensuring that employees grow into their evolving roles with the company.
- Set objectives and measurable results with employees on a quarterly rather than annual basis to allow the organization to be fast and flexible, making it easier to reset or pivot as the environment changes.
Sharing insights, solutions
“We engage in many conversations with our customers and partners, and we find the same critical questions coming up,” says Troeger. “The idea of the webinar originated from the need to work together to share our insights, concerns and solutions for success while facing these headwinds. It’s uncommon for companies to share their internal plans like this, but we are not navigating through normal times. We truly believe that the spirit and concept of an open forum and transparent discussion will help elevate us all to be better equipped to lead through any challenge we face together.”
