Choosing to be silent about what is going on outside the office doors might feel like the safest bet. But your silence makes a strong statement, and it may not be the one you want to convey. Your action or inaction sends a strong signal to your employees. If you make it clear that everyone is a part of the larger organization, you help them feel connected to you, their workplace, and one another. That sense of connection will help your entire team get through even the most difficult times.
Finally, let me assuage any fears you may have when addressing your team during any intense news cycle: You don’t have to be perfect. You simply have to be present and interested in your employees in a genuinely compassionate way. Nothing will help your organization function better than when everyone acknowledges each other’s humanity.
