Spring is on its way; and with it comes hope, feelings of comfort,
prospects of warmer weather and better times ahead.
However, in these unprecedented times, many of us are still
experiencing hardships or challenges beyond others' understanding.
These hardships can impact our work, our relationships in and out of
work and our long-term mental health.
The Health Assured Employee Advice Programme
is a great resource for anyone who is looking for support, in the UK.
After a quick search in their system, you'll find most of the advice that
is aimed at coping or dealing with specific life challenges like
bereavement or a change in lifestyle, have a section on the
importance of keeping in touch with others.
Staying connected with others gives us a chance to air our concerns
and worries and invites discussion of solutions or at least
understanding.
Its a bit of a cliché, but often a problem shared is a problem halved,
and don't forget we really are all in this together. So staying
connected is vital in feeling part of society, keeping resilient and
managing with these incredibly hard times.
As leaders, we need to stay mindful of the need for our teams to feel
connected and talk openly about their feelings. We can encourage this
in many different ways.
Take a look at the different types of opportunities that you could use
to encourage your teams to connect and support each other through
these challenging times.
For a person to learn a new
skill, develop their abilities or
simply to improve what they
do, they need the right
formulas for the best chances
of success.
