Aitch Are Gives You...
Time to move my thoughts back to good ol' Covid-19.
I know first-hand that the impact of Covid-19 has had a dramatic impact at a personal as well as an organisational level Every job lost as the economy continues to struggle is not just a statistic. It is a personal tragedy that has ripple effects beyond the person directly impacted to their immediate family, to friends, to the broader community. The following ramblings of mine clearly relate to a predominantly office-based business that lends itself more readily to remote working than businesses in other walks of life. However, we've built out a work/life flex manifesto that I thought I would share with you. Why? Because we have had to make a swift transition from working from an office, to remote working, under lockdown conditions. Because in doing this, there has been an increased blurring of the world of work and our life at home. Because we need to recognize that we are entering a different working world, where we have increased choice over when we work, and where from. So what are the practical things that an employer can do? First, paint a picture, and provide reassurance, over what the working future may look like.
Second, be flexible over working time.
Third, manage your meetings!
Finally, and most importantly, look after your health and wellbeing.
Hoping this is of use. The forecast is looking good for the weekend, so here's wishing you all a peaceful and relaxing time.
