For measures to succeed, they must be followed up daily and over time to assess whether they have the desired effect. For example:
Measure:
"All meetings should have a clear agenda, and my role in the meeting should be clear to me."
Day-to-day:
- Is there a clear agenda for the meeting you've been invited to? Do you know your role in the meeting? Do you say decline the invite when the agenda isn't provided, or do you request it before accepting?
- Do you respond with "tentative" when you are unsure and follow up to clarify?
Joint evaluation:
- Do all meetings have a clear agenda? Do you know your role in the meeting? Do you decline the invite when the agenda isn't provided, or request it before accepting? Do you reply "tentative" to invitations to confirm the meeting's necessity?
If the evaluation indicates that the measure has been integrated into your workflow, you can then assess whether it has a positive impact or if adjustments are needed. Once this is determined, review the list of measures to decide if another should be prioritised.
Improving the work environment is an ongoing process that requires regular follow-up and collective effort.
