Support With Touch
As a leader there will be times
where you have to lift your team
members back up, or work through
a tough situation with them. A simple
hand on the arm or shoulder conveys
far more compassion than
words ever will.
Of course we need to be sensitive and communicative around
positive touch in the workplace – but I think we all understand
that. One other thing to note is that you should always try to
frame any talk around touch in a positive light. Don’t make a joke
about the no-touch rules – there’s no need for it to be an act of
rebellion instead of compassion.
