Revisit company culture.
Covid-19 has provided a unique opportunity for organizations to reassess their priorities in terms of employee care. The pandemic has emphasized, and in some places exaggerated, the impacts of work on mental health and wellbeing. Organizations can revisit standard practices and adjust policies to better meet their employees’ needs. Examples include regular wellbeing check-ins, and providing tools and learning opportunities for self-assessment and care. By taking these steps, employees are likely to feel better supported and maintain higher levels of health and wellbeing when transitioning back to the office.
The return to the office following Covid-19 will require patience and understanding by both employers and employees as everyone begins to navigate what in-person working looks like in the post-pandemic era. It provides a great opportunity for organizations to act on the changing needs of their employees and find ways to enhance the all-round package they offer to support health and wellbeing. For more insight on the challenges organizations may face during this transition, be sure to take a look at our recent LinkedIn Live conversation between Brenda Harrington and Csaba Toth!
