Does Your Team’s Morale Have a Fighting Chance Against the Rushed Move Home?

We’re seeing skyrocketing stress leaves and morale issues at most of our clients who have suddenly had an entire workforce move home. The reason is simple - the structures and familiar daily routines have disappeared, replaced by co-living with spouses, children, and pets on a 24/7 basis. 

The way to fix this is not by team-building exercises or making everyone be on video all day, or after hours employee meet ups imitating going to a pub – it is by building new routines and structures that give everyone a consistent work method. 

Take away uncertainty by creating standard meeting templates, standard streamlined project methods, communication standards, online team dashboards to meet around and share best practices. Make everything easy to find from a central online location. Replace email with collaboration and replace in-person gatherings with break out rooms and one-on-one phone calls for a better connection.
