Doesn’t Get Things Done - Monday Morning Quarterbackin

1. DOESN’T GET THINGS DONE MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKIN In the midst of the remote work revolution, you’d think that the workplace becomes more relaxed and jovial. And, in this pseudo-post-pandemic era, you’d think that the idea of gathering again in person to celebrate together at the annual holiday party would be welcomed with open arms. THE HOLIDAYS ARE CONSIDERED THE MOST STRESSFUL TIME OF THE YEAR. IT’S NOT JUST THE YEAR-END PUSH THAT ADDS PRESSURE TO A WORKFORCE THAT’S ALREADY ROAD- WEARY AFTER PUTTING IN ANOTHER YEAR BEHIND THE DESK OR BENCH OR WHEREVER THE WORK IS DONE. CORPORATE CULTURES THAT ARE TOXIC ARE EVEN MORE CHALLENGING TO NAVIGATE DURING THE HOLIDAYS. BUT DON’T DESPAIR: TWO KEY TAKEAWAYS ARE THAT TECHNOLOGY CAN BE LEVERAGED TO MANAGE THE TOXICITY (AND NON-COMPLIANCE) AND IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO CHANGE THE CULTURE. TECHNOLOGY CAN DETECT UNUSUAL PATTERNS SUCH AS WORKING AT ODD HOURS OUTSIDE THE STANDARD PRACTICE FOR THE CORPORATE CULTURE, EMAIL AND TEXT EXCHANGES THAT ARE MORE FREQUENT, ABRUPT, AND MAY INCLUDE ABRASIVE LANGUAGES SUCH AS DEROGATORY OR DEFAMATORY WORDS AND CURSING. MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK AND WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE BUT DID NOT DO WON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. PROBLEMS NEED TO BE SURFACED THROUGH FORMAL CHANNELS AND ADDRESSED. ON THE TOPIC OF QUARTERBACKING, THE NFL, AND THE WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (FORMERLY THE REDSKINS – WHICH IS A WHOLE OTHER TOPIC AROUND CULTURAL APPROPRIATION AND RACISM) HAVE RECENTLY BEEN EXPOSED FOR THEIR TOXIC WORK CULTURE. THE TROUBLING PART IS THAT IT’S BEEN ONGOING FOR NEARLY A DECADE AND THERE WAS NO INVESTIGATION UNTIL EARLIER THIS YEAR. Contact Us https://www.shieldfc.com/
