Remember that people respond to sudden, unexpected losses in personal ways. What employees need most from their managers and colleagues, and what they find most challenging, varies from person to person. Have honest conversations with your own employees to find out what they miss most about being in the office and what their current limitations are. Do they miss the security and routine of daily life? If so, work with them to recreate some aspects of their work life. For example, they might start each morning with a cup of coffee and a chat in the break room. Take the initiative to host a virtual morning break with your team to simulate this daily activity.
Their work environment and focus without other family members present? If so, work with them on repurposing. For example, allow them flexibility in when they work (e.g., before or after the kids go to bed) and how they work (e.g., fewer asynchronous meetings during the day). Balancing Job Function Email List Rebuilding and Repurposing Through Technology Virtual working allows employees to choose whether to restructure or repurpose their office lives. Rather than leaving the choice entirely up to them so that each person on the team can approach his or her job differently, consider developing a company or team strategy that provides guidance. You can do this by brainstorming.
With employees about aspects of office life that they personally miss, and then helping them recreate or repurpose those aspects. The framework for such a conversation might be as simple as these two questions: Is there anything from your previous work life that you no longer have that could help you achieve your professional and or personal goals? How can we incorporate this into your current life? It’s also important to recognize the limitations of reinvention and repurposing.
