You ask a friend “how are you?” They might very well say “fine”,
but you might know they’re not.
So, you ask them again. That’s enough to nudge the door open;
they tell you a bit more about what’s up.
That’s how you need to think right now. Everyone will be
keen to assure you they’re fine, that they don’t need help. But everyone will be
in some state of not-fine.
Some of that will be work-related, some won’t. Some you can
solve, some you can’t. But it’s part of your duty of care to ask, to listen, to
do what you can to help. To simply understand if you can’t.
Throughout the current crisis I’m offering free advice or
tips to employers, HR or Internal Comms teams to help them understand their
employees’ needs in this new world. Get in touch if I can help.
