Unsettled times, almost by definition, are challenging to navigate, and pose an additional challenge for <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/managing-employees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/managing-employees\">employee managers<\/a> and other leaders: how transparent should they be with staff members?<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">It\u2019s important to recognize at the outset that there are reasons <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">to<\/em> be frank and open with team members and reasons <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">not<\/em> to be, but I\u2019ve found that most of the time, honesty is the best policy, and there are quite a few associated benefits.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Reasons to be transparent with employees<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">It rallies everyone behind a shared mission:<\/strong> When a team has a common goal, its members pull together to accomplish it. But if they have no idea a business is facing uncertainty, you rob them of an opportunity to become invested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">For example, let\u2019s say you have to make $20,000 in the next month to make payroll. If you don\u2019t inform employees about the issue, they are stripped of the opportunity to go even further above and beyond\u200a\u2014\u200ato work additionally hard to bridge the (hopefully temporary) gap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">It eliminates overthinking and fear: <\/strong>Even if you don\u2019t directly tell employees about the uncertainty facing your company, they\u2019ll likely know something is up in any case. Maybe they\u2019ve noticed that you seem more stressed, or that you have been attending more meetings than usual\u2026 and they might start worrying. In turn, this can cast a shadow on company morale. Don\u2019t leave workers wondering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">It takes pressure off of you:<\/strong> As a business owner, you know that it can be hard to ask for help. But in uncertain times, the support of a valued employee or two can make all the difference in the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">For instance, if your workload has dramatically increased, you might need to call in an experienced team member (or members) to help. In this situation, it\u2019s in your best interest to tell them what\u2019s going on. Otherwise, they might think you\u2019ve simply decided to slack off on responsibilities and offload onto them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Of course, transparency can\u2019t erase all the stress and pressure that uncertainty brings, but when you share some part of the informational burden, you\u2019ll likely find that you have a little more room to breathe.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">The pitfalls of not being transparent<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Even given the potential benefits listed above, some business owners firmly believe that being honest about adversity does more harm than good. Chief among their reasons is that withholding potentially challenging information helps keep morale high, and workers happier and more productive. In their mind, nothing puts a damper on motivation like staff members knowing a business is in trouble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Withholding the truth might seem like a smart course of action at first, but pretending everything is okay can backfire, not least because the false reality you\u2019ve created leads to misaligned expectations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">For example, if an employee thinks everything is going perfectly, they might take additional time off. When workers have no idea of problems, you can\u2019t expect them to pull together to get the company on stable ground again. If that same employee knew the truth, he or she may well have opted to come to work instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Being dishonest (including lying by omission) can also damage the trust you\u2019ve built with a team. It\u2019s entirely possible that at some point, a staff member will find out that the enterprise has faced (or is facing) a hardship. When they realize you kept that information from them, feelings of betrayal can ensue. Unsurprisingly, they may then hesitate before putting their trust in you again.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Taking care with the\u00a0truth<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">If you decide to be transparent, care must be taken. With a little thought invested in how to frame a situation, it\u2019s possible to be honest and keep morale up at the same time. A few tips:<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">\u2022 Stay positive while sharing current challenges<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">\u2022 Share your vision for remedying the issue<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">\u2022 Offer thoughts on actionable steps the company can take<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">\u2022 Ask employees for their input<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Another oft-cited reason for avoiding sharing hard business truths is that it might cause workers to look for other jobs. After all, not everyone will feel inclined to stay on and help: Some may see a sinking ship and decide they\u2019re better off leaving before things get worse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">This is an understandable concern and reaction. But you can also reframe it\u200a\u2014\u200aregard the situation as an opportunity to filter out those who aren\u2019t committed to your goals and mission. It might be better to lose non-committed personnel than risk having them perform poor or counterproductive work ongoing. At the very least, such work won\u2019t be on the level of someone who is genuinely dedicated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Don\u2019t make the mistake of thinking that transparency <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">causes<\/em> people to leave. It doesn\u2019t. Instead, it speeds up the rate at which inevitable things occur. In the case of employees who aren\u2019t fully on board, rest assured they were <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">always<\/em> going to leave: being honest about your company\u2019s situation just expedited the process.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">How do you\u00a0decide?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Before determining how transparent you need to be, weigh the pros and cons of both options. But keep in mind that there\u2019s also the possibility of a hybrid approach, in which you might opt to confide in just the management team, for example, without letting information reach lower-level employees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">But again, and in my experience, transparency is the best way to deal with uncertainty in the vast majority of cases. You\u2019ll maintain employee trust, take pressure off of yourself and unite the company in pursuit of a common goal. With such strong leadership, the enterprise will more than likely emerge not just surviving but prospering.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\"><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Thanks for reading!
