COVID-19 support

COVID-19

Maintaining organisation-wide resilience will include the evaluation of financial, operational and commercial and psychological flexibility. The COVOID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruption. There is continual evolution of events, issues, upheaval and loss and although many organisations have crisis management plans, the country and indeed the world is currently establishing the permanency of such strategies.

While many organisations will be striving to keep operating there will be lasting damage to the psychological wellbeing of many members of staff. The impact will not only be unparalleled, but organisations are being forced to adapt.

There are some ways to support your employees in this difficult time:

Maintain regular communication with your staff members and acknowledge their concerns
Keep all employees up to date with your organisational response to the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent changes
Ensure your staff are aware of the support available to them through your organisation
If you feel concerned about an individual, keep channels of communication open and encourage them to seek extra support
Do not neglect to take care of yourself

During and following the pandemic, management and leaders will be under immense pressure to meet the expectations of employees and the organisation. They will need to coordinate not only their homelife and workload but the impact due to the lack of control and uncertainty of their staff. In similar ways, staff may be struggling with their mental health during such ambiguous and unsure times. Staff members will undoubtably struggle to find balance with their health, families, workload, motivation and isolation.
