The ongoing COVID - 19 pandemic has brought with it an environment of uncertainty. Organizations around the world are trying their best to cope with these unforeseen times. It is in times of such uncertainty that we need to focus on our teams stay and keep them engaged & connected at all times. The recently released LinkedIn’s inaugural Workforce Confidence Index states that - - Only 29% of people said their company is providing the equipment necessary for remote working. - Less than a quarter said employers are providing care for their emotional well-being. The Challenge of Social Distancing - To slow down the spread of the virus and flatten the curve, social distancing is the norm of the hour. It is one of the primary precautions to be taken by all. Asking employees to work from home has become an imperative for most companies. Social distancing is not easy for us humans, after all, we are “social beings”. Some of the challenges that we tend to face during such times include - • Challenge of Isolation • Challenge of Personal Distractions/lack of focus • Stressing out over the safety of family & friends • Limited access to basic amenities, work equipment, etc Whether by offering work from home or working onsite at a limited strength, organizations have to support their people in adjusting to the changing times and in the new work methods.
