Covid19 and the work continues…

Like pretty much everyone else, Covid19 has affected their work lives, the ‘work from home’ scenario should be in full swing now. For most, it has been a change, some for the better and others… well you know?

I must admit, that for me it started pretty well. I could see better communication within the department although the down side was more meetings I did not ‘need’ to be at.

I think that when changes in the work place occur, either by design or necessity, it is very important to keep checking. What starts off as progress can soon lead to complacency and turmoil if not unchecked.

In particular, in these circumstances, when there is such massive change in an organisation, it is important to be heard. Your opinion counts and if you are having issues with a process (they are not working for you), it is better to address them directly and positively than just letting them go on. The chances are, others are feeling the same but possibly don’t have the courage to bring up the problem.

Stay strong, stay polite (although you may not always feel like it), and remember that a team is only as strong as its weakest member.
