Relationship Management

It is the key tool that links all members of a particular supply chain. However strong or weak a supply chain is, relationship management will dictate the strength and effectiveness of the supply chain. It is a strategy in which an organization maintains ongoing engagement with its employees.

During a crisis, there is an initial sprint of changes: shifting to working from home, changing strategies, moving online, etc. Things continue to change and so they do, there are ups and downs with emotions, energies, stress, and focus. Two people can’t possibly have the same needs, opinions, and expectations every time. Resolving conflict in constructive ways can strengthen trust between people.

Although things might change, ensure care and support are provided to your fellow team members all throughout their journeys. This cultivates resilience for yourself and others, where both parties stay engaged, healthy, and connected.

Uncontrolled emotions and stress can also impact your mental health, making you vulnerable to anxiety and depression. Managing your emotions according to situations would culminate in sustainable, healthy, and strong intra-personal and inter-personal relationships.
