EMPATHY: If you percept that your employees are going through problems, have empathy about their feelings.
INFORM: If your employees go to the point to share their personal problems with you, they trust you and they believe that you’d be helpful. In case it happens, be informed to give them information about the company’s resources and benefits. If it is necessary, contact the HR.
TRUST: If your employees are doing a good job, try to check on them less than you usually do. They will come up to you if they have issues. This is going to make them to feel trusted and they also won’t be distracted by you every time you have to check on them. Check only the necessary amount of times.
CLARIFY: Make sure that your employees know every detail about what they have to do. If they don’t, be reachable to clarify and answer to their questions.
FEEDBACK: Give your employees feedbacks about their performances. Make the feedbacks for each one of them, not general. It is going to be more valuable for them.
