4. Give each other feedback

With the data they receive from 2DAYSMOOD, they can discuss weekly how things are going and help each other where necessary. By discussing this feedback and data with each other, confidence and trust in the team also grows.

5. Regularly discuss the vision and mission of your organization

If you regularly discuss the company’s vision and mission, you ensure that everyone is looking in the same direction. This contributes to the commitment and enthusiasm of the employees in your organization. And when employees are more involved, they also experience more happiness at work. In other words, they know what they are doing it for!

6. Provide role models and transformational leadership

Nothing can have as much of an impact as a leader who motivates others. The leader is thus a role model, as it were. At deFinanseurs, they ensure this by having managers regularly participate in all kinds of courses. This way they become aware of what they are promoting to others.
