幫助員工從病假后順利恢復上班

當員工從病假回來時，他們的經理的工作就是幫助他們輕鬆工作。

這個過程從休假開始：經理應該保持和員工聯絡幾次，這樣他們就不會感到被解雇了。當他們準備返回時，擬定一個過渡計畫，並仔細考慮具體細節。

例如，詢問員工，他希望如何宣佈他的恢復上班，並談論他需要的任何時間表的變化。確保過渡計畫是分階段的，因為該人可能不能馬上恢復到100%的能力。考慮一下，你可以在第一天回來創造一個歡迎的小儀式，無論是在門口迎接他，還是在他們的桌子上佈置鮮花和卡片。

一旦他們回來了，比你通常更頻繁地去檢查她的狀況，以確保他感到受到支持。

Help an Employee Return Smoothly from Medical Leave

When an employee returns from a medical leave, it’s their manager’s job to help them ease back into work.

The process starts during the leave: The manager should check in with the employee a few times so that they don’t feel cut off from the office. When they’re ready to return, reach out to come up with a transition plan, and think through the precise details.

For example, ask the employee how they want their return announced, and talk about any schedule changes they need. Make sure the transition plan is phased, since the person may not be ready to return to 100% capacity right away. And consider how you can create a welcoming experience for their first day back, whether it’s meeting them at the door or having flowers and a card waiting for them at their desk.

Once they’re back, check in with them more frequently than you normally would, to make sure they feel supported. 

當你成為會議焦點時，不要驚慌

在會議上被當成是焦點明星，有時對你是一個不受歡迎的驚喜。但是如果你準備發言並說一些有用的話，你可以把它變成展示你的專業知識的機會。

在下次會議之前，看一下議程，寫一些關於你的問題和可能會對你提出的問題的筆記。

如果你在會議中被邀請，緩慢地地、自信地說，並用一些上下文介紹你的評論，以便同事們知道你的方向。當然，如果有人問你一個讓你措手不及的問題，不要害怕回答說你不知道的答案。

對這些時刻做一些簡單的回答：“我沒現在有這些資訊，但下午1點之前我會回答你的。”最後總是問：“我回答你的問題了嗎？”

When You’re Put on the Spot in a Meeting, Don’t Panic

Being put on the spot during a meeting can be an unwelcome surprise. But if you’re prepared to speak up and say something useful, you can turn it into an opportunity to show your expertise.

Before your next meeting, look through the agenda and write some notes about questions you have and any points you might raise.

If you’re called on in the meeting, speak slowly and confidently, and introduce your comments with some context so that colleagues know where you are headed. Of course, if someone asks you a question that catches you off guard, don’t be afraid to say you don’t know the answer.

Practice some simple responses for these moments: “I don’t have that information, but I will get it to you by 1 PM.” And always end by asking, “Did I answer your question?”
