A good way to make the connection is to provide team leisure time&#8211;an outing or after work event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are a lot of things a CIO can do that don&#8217;t necessarily cost a great deal of money. I think executives need to go back to more personal kinds of things. Perhaps on a Friday have a social event that&#8217;s not too costly to create camaraderie,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>These types of efforts will give you a closer connection with your people, and when &#8220;they&#8217;re more on a personal level, employees are more likely to believe them about cutbacks and taking on more work,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Sargis gave one warning about the personal touch. &#8220;The big caveat is that you don&#8217;t spend too much money on these kinds of things. There will be a huge backlash if employees suspect you&#8217;re making cutbacks&#8211;and at the same time you&#8217;re throwing parties.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Scott Sargis Published in CNET Tech Republic July 14, 2003<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-appearances"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/strategicsearch.com\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/strategicsearch.com\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/strategicsearch.com\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strategicsearch.com\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strategicsearch.com\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=705"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/strategicsearch.com\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/strategicsearch.com\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strategicsearch.com\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strategicsearch.com\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
