Let’s face it, since the pandemic, noting is the same in business. And if we are honest, ever since the age of the internet, business owners are constantly in a learning curve to keep up with new technology, skill sets and employee trends. One such trend is the phenomenon of “quiet quitting,” where employees disengage silently instead of outright resigning. Instead of throwing in the towel and firing your entire staff, because we know it took a long time and it was expensive to train these staff members, Barbier suggests teaching your staff the importance of follow-through. This skill among staff has never been more critical. Young professionals are navigating the complexities of the modern workplace, perseverance is not just a desirable trait; it’s a survival skill. Employers must recognize the significance of fostering a culture of perseverance to combat disengagement and drive organizational success.
At Barbier, we are a mostly remote working staff due to the nature of our industry. As a very wise person told us, what does it matter if a translator is in an office or home, they are still translating and engaging with the computer more than others, plus they need the quiet space to create and organize their thoughts in order to render wonderful text into any language. Yet, these young professionals today face a myriad of challenges, from burnout and uncertainty to the allure of greener pastures, especially in remote office culture that can be at times isolating. The ability to follow through on commitments, overcome obstacles, and stay focused amidst distractions is paramount. Employers like Barbier play a crucial role in nurturing perseverance among their staff by creating a supportive environment that encourages growth, resilience, and personal development. We must foster a work culture that engages and teaches but doesn’t forget the humans in a technology driven industry.
To foster perseverance in Barbier’s staff, we have always led with cultivating a culture of trust, transparency, and open communication. When our employees feel valued, heard, and respected, they’re more likely to remain committed to their roles and the organization as a whole. We provide opportunities for skill development, career advancement, and meaningful work which also reinforces our employees’ sense of purpose and motivation, empowering them to persevere in the face of challenges. It also inspires Barbier Managers to lead by example and we champion their success every time we can!
By Barbier Managers leading by example, they too demonstrate perseverance in their own actions and decisions. By showcasing resilience, adaptability, and determination, business owners can inspire their staff to emulate these qualities and cultivate a mindset of perseverance. Believe us, there are times where we all want to quietly quit, but that defeatist attitude doesn’t stay with us very long, because we only have to look out to our incredibly valued staff to see that we have everything to come to work for each day. And like our staff, we love our industry and our work. By Barbier employees collectively prioritizing perseverance and providing the necessary support and resources, we continue to empower each other when navigating the ups and downs of the modern workplace with confidence, resilience, and determination. Barbier staff are truly busy as Bs.
