# 5 Things Successful Employers Do During a Recession!

**Being in a recession can be scary for employers AND employees.**

Here are 5 proven tips that work in a recession:

1)  Have weekly meetings with all employees to share the state of the company; employees want to help but can’t if they do not have information!

2)  Involve employees in the decision making; if there are cost savings needed, have them come up with them.

3)  Re-evaluate your incentive structure to reward cost savings and new clients that employees have produced.

4)  Re-evaluate all positions descriptions and organizational structure; many employees may want added responsibilities to enhance their skills set.

5)  Celebrate whenever you can with your employees – new clients and new business.
