149: Ways to Make Your Interior Design Business More Fun with Michele Williams

The last year and a half have been taxing for businesses, and for business owners. The time we used to take to create a great team culture and to do things together was changed to how do we all do things apart from each other. On today’s podcast we are going to dig in to why it is important to have fun in the workplace and how to do that in a multitude of ways. I hope you can take away a few new ideas for your team to build fun again.

Topics Mentioned: 

• Fun 

• Celebrations 

• Outings 

• Appreciation in the workplace 

Key Thoughts:

• I really want to encourage you to take a step back and look critically at your teams and ask yourself, even though they may be great at what they do, are they loving their job? Do they want to come to work every day? Michele (3:19) 

• Evaluate your environment, do you feel free to laugh and to smile and greet one another and to encourage your teammates. Even if you're still meeting by Zoom or online, make sure to take a moment to connect with people before diving into the serious part. Michele (5:35) 

• Another thing that you might want to consider is how your team members feel individually about being appreciated. Michele (13:10) 

• It’s never too late to begin. You don't have to wait until the New Year. Just make sure whatever you put into practice that you are consistent in the application. Michele (14:16)
