"Last year, my sales team faced a period of time where we lost three colleagues to sudden turnover and had another team member on maternity leave. This put the five remaining colleagues on staff in a very precarious situation. From the moment we knew we were going to be short-staffed, I led our team in working with our manager to rework our schedules, ensuring that we were staffed at all times and having at least three team members on during busier times. This required a lot of communication amongst our team and dedication to pick up the slack for others when they had other responsibilities. As our leaders worked hard to hire more team members, I ended up being very appreciate of this challenging time, as it brought our work team much closer together than we were prior."
