On one hand, the distress experienced by individuals as a result of the lockdown and the pandemic is affecting businesses and the economy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, the economic slowdown is forcing businesses to take measures that are affecting people\u2019s lives. This is a cycle that we are just starting to see the impact of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The unpredictability of the situation, the anxiety around the health of our loved ones, the change in routines that had become a part of our lives are just some of the things that can affect our mental health. Given the timing of the lockdown, there\u2019s also a possibility that most of us were preparing to receive increments based on our appraisals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A word to managers and team leads: It makes sense to worry about the productivity of our teams working from home and feel anxious about whether the team can remain afloat in these times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Truth be told, this uncertainty has put managers and team leads to the test, one which they might not have been too prepared for. No one was.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can managers and leaders do to help their team during a crisis? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can you practice empathy with your team and also take care of yourself?\u00a0 Here are a few tips:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Show vulnerability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As leaders, we may feel the need to show that we have got it together. Who would take you seriously if you were not a person who could solve every problem? Showing vulnerability helps you relate to your co-workers and your teammates\u2019 could appreciate the opportunity to help you once in a while.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Be empathetic<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Empathy can go a long way. Understanding the difficulties your team members might be facing can make them feel cared for. If someone is struggling, do not break out the threats, instead, have a conversation with them and ask if they need any help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Empathy 101 &#8211; Put your people first<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that your team and you are not working from home due to a pandemic but you are working from home while struggling with a pandemic. It\u2019s natural to not be just as productive as you were while you are in the office together. People need to see you as someone who cares.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Connect as more than employees or coworkers<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoom parties or games are cool but don\u2019t let it be the only time you connect with your team outside of work. In an office setting, you would be talking at lunch, or running into each other in the bathroom or if you are like my team, reminding each other to drink water or stretch every hour. All of this might be difficult to do now but find ways to connect with your team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Make mental health services accessible<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supporting your team on your own is great. But sometimes we all need help. Make mental health services accessible to everyone in your team. The Alternative Story has been providing webinars, 1-1 counselling services, and leadership support to multiple organisations and we would love to extend our services to your team, as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Reach out for help, yourself<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember you cannot pour from an empty cup. If you want to help your team, replenish yourself. Seek help, do things you like, and be compassionate to yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a tough conversation:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may not be an easy decision to make but many of you may have to lay off your team or give your team pay cuts. Communicating this is an incredibly difficult job. Some things to remember while you share this news to your team are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Be clear in your communication<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; What are the chances that the person can expect? What are the timelines that they are expected to take effect? Give as much information as you can.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Be honest<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Don\u2019t offer hope when there isn\u2019t any. My father always used to say, let\u2019s see when he wanted to say no. It doesn\u2019t do anything for the person. Being honest can help people move on and look for options immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Give time to process the information<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; If you can, offer time. Ideally, you want them to process the information as calmly as they can and ask questions if they have any.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Offer support through recommendations, introduce them to others in the industry<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Letters of recommendation can be a great way to introduce great team members that you have had to let go to friends in a similar industry. Make it standard practice to offer your help to those you are laying off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grieving is a process. People can have a wide range of emotions to being fired. Some may be angry, some may try to guilt you, bargain with you. All of these are natural emotions. Offering a safe space to feel these emotions may help your organization and you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are doing your best! <\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember it is a global pandemic which means that everyone is affected by it in some way or the other. Feeling untethered, experiencing existential dread or feelings of anxiety and depression are normal. Seek out support. The only antidote (kryptonite, if you will) to isolation is being connected &#8211; and having a little empathy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for more insight into mental health and empathy at the workplace, we went LIVE with Rashi from The Alternative Story. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CASSjP0pwlD\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check it out here.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>This post was contributed by Rashi Vidyasagar from <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/thealternativestory\/?ref=offer_header\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Alternative Story.<\/a><\/span> Rashi is the director of communication and strategy of The Alternative story.
