1. Organize open meetings
Bring all employees together and present them with the current situation. Moreover, skip the agenda and leave everyone to speak up their mind. This can lead to amazing and innovative ideas. Also, it will make everyone feel like a part of the team and make them see that their opinions are appreciated.
2. Prepare training
Sometimes teaching somebody a skill can also be a form of communication. Be respectful in a situation where a colleague is experiencing a gap in knowledge. This way, you can create a bond, and a very valuable exchange can start. Also never hesitate to fill in your own gaps when needed and ask other employees for help.
3. Use visuals
People communicate and perceive things in different ways. Often, we can be surprised how difficult it is to translate information. Yet, it sounds quite easy to comprehend in our eyes. Therefore, it is a good idea to present the information you want to convey in a visual manner. An image really does convey a thousand words. A graph or chart can often do even more. Don’t hesitate to be creative in your presentations.
By making it clear to anyone in the team in what direction projects are moving, you will make them more motivated and involved. Moreover, they will be a part of the projects and not just working as individuals.These are just a few suggestions and ideas.
