Managers urged to banish January blues

The nation's managers have been encouraged to do all they can to banish the so-called 'January blues' that some workers feel and help to stimulate their workforce to be more motivated and productive.

According to Carole Spiers, business stress consultant and author of Show Stress Who's Boss!, the winter months make it less conducive to working, concentrating and being motivated.

Therefore, it is up to bosses today to do their best to motivate their teams as well as they possible can, and to try to inspire them to ensure that the winter months are of no relevance, she noted.

"They need to inspire them, motivate them, assure them that everybody knows exactly what's going on in the business and that they're all working together as a team. Everybody is of value, everybody is recognised and [don't] forget those two little words – 'thank you'," Ms Spiers added.

Hilary Jeanes, leadership coach and human resources consultant at PurpleLine Consulting, recently said that employers hoping to get the best out of their staff need to communicate with them regularly in order to boost their workers' sense of purpose and motivation.
