2. 1. KEEP YOUR TEAM UPDATED
Consistent and transparent
communication is key.
A lot of employees will be anxious, about
both work and personal situations.
Regular updates are especially important
as the situation evolves and will help
alleviate concerns.
Keep up with regular meetings to keep
the team informed.

3. 2. ENCOURAGE FACE-TO- FACE
COMMUNICATION
Zoom and Google Hangouts has made it
straightforward to keep up with your
usual meeting schedule.
It sounds obvious but encouraging
everyone to turn on their cameras - to get
that much-needed social interaction - this
make all the difference.

4. 3. BE PROFESSIONAL...BUT
REALISTIC
Employers can model what a good
remote work setup looks like,
especially during your video
conferences.
But reassure your team that, the kids
screaming in the background, a visit
from the cat or the washing piling up
behind them, is the new normal.

5. 4. KEEP UP SOCIAL
INTERACTIONS
Without the in-person, daily interaction
of an office, it's easy for the home-
working day to pass by without social
interaction.
Encourage virtual coffee breaks or
lunches with team members between
meetings, or even after work virtual
drinks, which can help keep up friendly,
non-work conversation.

6. 5. GATHER FEEDBACK - AND
ACT ON IT!
Your team will take time to adjust to,
what for many, is a stressful situation.
Encouraging feedback from employees
- either informally with a 1-2-1 virual
chat, or through an employee
engagement survey - this can give you
a good idea of the general mood within
your team.
The key is to act on the feedback and
provide additional support where
required.
