Losing Sleep over Staff Issues?

In this article we delve in to:

The top 3 problems keeping business owners and managers awake at night—and how gellibn can help.

Being a small business owner or manager comes with a lot of responsibility. The kind that can keep you tossing and turning at night, worrying about how to keep things running smoothly. Let’s dive into three of the most common problems that make sleep elusive—and how you can tackle them using gellibn.

Problem 1: Addressing Poor Employee Performance and How To Fix It

No one likes having difficult conversations, especially when it comes to telling someone they're not meeting expectations. The idea of giving feedback can be stressful. You might worry about hurting their feelings or straining the relationship. For some, it’s the emotional aspect; for others, it's dealing with a complicated, drawn-out process that makes them hesitate.

But, avoiding this problem doesn’t make it go away. In fact, it can lead to even bigger issues. Letting poor performance slide can drag down team morale, as others pick up the slack. It’s also unfair to the employee, who can’t improve if they don’t know there’s a problem.

How to Fix It :To make these tough conversations less painful, it’s important to have clear, sensible processes in place for measuring and addressing employee performance. Communicate these standards clearly to your team, and make sure everyone is on the same page. Tools like gellibn can help by providing a simple, structured way to track and manage performance and behaviours, making it easier to spot issues early and address them before they become bigger problems.

Problem 2: Dealing with Bad Behaviour and How To Fix It

Sometimes, the challenge isn’t just about performance, it’s about behaviour. Bad behaviour at work can be a real headache. Whether it’s someone being disrespectful or just not pulling their weight, it can create a toxic environment that drags everyone down. The key to dealing with this is making sure everyone knows what’s expected of them and feels comfortable calling out inappropriate behaviour. This is tricky because bad behaviour isn’t always obvious. It might start small, but if left unchecked, it can escalate into something much harder to manage.

How to fix it: Start by setting clear standards for behaviour in your workplace policies and values. Train your staff to understand what’s acceptable and what’s not. 

gellibn helps you tackle this problem by providing the tools to set and enforce clear behaviour standards. With gellibn, you can create a space where employees can get feedback on how their behaviour affects others. With gellibn, you can train your team on what’s acceptable and what’s not. It also gives you the tools to address issues as they arise, so you can deal with them quickly and effectively, preventing them from getting worse.

Problem 3: The Fix to Managing Simmering Conflict

Conflict is inevitable in any workplace. Sometimes, it’s out in the open, and you can deal with it head-on. But other times, it simmers below the surface, unnoticed until it boils over in a big way. These hidden conflicts can be the hardest to manage because by the time they come to your attention, they’re often deeply rooted and complicated.
