As many people continue to work remotely because of COVID-19 safety precautions, managers and leaders are faced with the ongoing challenge of ensuring that their team members are receiving appropriate support to carry out their work effectively and stay mentally healthy. What may have seemed like a temporary spell of remote working in March 2020, has now become the norm for many and managers must think creatively about how they can ensure their employees needs are met.
Evidence shows that a sudden switch to remote working, as opposed to a planned change to work from home, can bring feelings of isolation and disconnection. Remote workers may be juggling home and work demands as their workspace becomes the same place as they relax, eat or even sleep. Often they feel as if they have to work extra hours to prove that they are productive, in the absence of the usual face-to-face reassurance from their manager. In addition to this pressure, many have been exposed to trauma, grief and uncertainty due to the pandemic.
Managers are in the unique position to provide reassurance and guidance to remote workers, but they also need to consider the impact on their own mental wellbeing. This training course builds awareness of how managers can develop skills to support their teams whilst protecting their own mental health.
