September 6, 2009PowerPhrase: Your employees are priority, not distraction

Filed under: The PowerPhrase of the Week by merylrunion |

At a recent performance management training, the HR director said,

  • We need the managers to shift into regarding employees as a priority, not a distraction.

It’s easy in the hubbub of a busy day to regard requests for information and support from the people we manage to be something that takes us away from what we “should” be doing. This quote reshifted the priority in a beautiful way.
