You’re tired, mad, and lonely. So, what can you do about it?
Here's an interesting article published by HBR that caused me to reflect and perhaps put myself in my "employee's shoes". I started thinking about their perspective of working from home and feeling isolated, separated from the company culture, loss of interaction and communication, a sudden drop off in feedback from my boss, a complete stop of any engagement/motivational strategies, and a level of fear of losing my job since no one is communicating what's happening with the company. It almost might feel like the management team has put their head in their hands with a "woe is me" attitude, praying that things might get better.
Layer that onto the stress of paycuts, furloughs, lack of direction, home schooling, and 2 spouses working from home.
Might our employees not become angry, upset, frustrated, feeling disconnected? What can we do about it?
