Don’t Forget The Standard Operating Procedures

Raise your hand if you are intrigued by this image. We chose it for this month’s blog as a reminder that businesses (and buildings) need a variety of elements to succeed and be strong. In building, rebar, or reinforcing bar, is a common feature of many concrete applications. Its primary purpose is to increase the tensile strength of the concrete, helping it resist cracking and breaking. Like rebar, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in business guarantees that the business can benefit by reducing errors, increasing efficiencies and profitability, and creating a safe work environment.

Learning From Mistakes

“Failing forward” is a phrase often heard in the business world. As much as we tell ourselves, “nobody is perfect,” and “mistakes happen,” what matters most is our response to them. Oprah Winfrey is quoted as saying, “Learn from every mistake because every experience, encounter, and particularly your mistakes are there to teach you and force you into being more of who you are.”

Embracing Personality Differences

Negative attitudes can be disruptive and destructive, affecting co-workers’ focus, motivation, and happiness at work.

Tips For Success Over Stress

Are you feeling stressed? You are not alone! Stress is a natural feeling of being unable to cope with specific demands and events. Stress can come from work, relationships, financial pressures, and other situations, but anything that poses an actual or perceived challenge or threat to your well-being can cause stress.

Avoid Communication Breakdown
