Two, one-hour, on-line sessions
It's back to work for many workers. But other than those in a state of denial, most employers understand it is not a flip-of-a switch and recalling workers and re-integrate their workforce is a big challenge. Join us for two (one-hour) webinar sessions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has advised both employers and employees that fear and anxiety about COVID-19 and other strong emotions can be overwhelming, and workplace stress can lead to burnout and related health conditions. More than one-third of Americans (36%) say COVID-19 has had a serious impact on their mental health and most (59%) feel COVID-19 is having a serious impact on their day-to-day lives. Other issues are already surfacing, as many employees have delayed preventive medical treatment during the pandemic.
However, case studies have shown that the challenge of resolving a crisis can provide some of the most important opportunities to deepen trust and commitment with employees in ways that not only ensure greater well-being for employees, but also position greater business success when the crisis is over.
At the May 7th Annual meeting of the Employers Association of New Jersey, employers were urged to “step up.” Before the crisis, many EANJ members reported suffering from the malaise of low morale and low worker engagement even as the bottom line was being negatively impacted. But the HR problems that existed before the pandemic have not gone away. In fact, they have, in many ways, become more acute during the crisis.
