The pandemic has posed multiple challenges for businesses and with many people required to work from home, one of the biggest hurdles for leaders to overcome has been that of remotely managing and leading a team.
Research shows that remote working has had damaging effects on mental wellbeing with 80% of UK employees revealing it has had a negative impact on their mental health.
With remote working set to stay, managing the mental health of employees has become a top business priority.
Supporting employees’ mental health
It is vital leaders gain a better understanding of mental health in the delivery of remote working, and its influence on business success and creativity, in order to:
- Develop a culture of solidarity: a “family” rather than a “team”.
- Create a compassionate and caring environment for those who may feel hurt or frightened.
- Provide comfortable conditions which spark creativity and innovation.
- Build an agile company with the means to adapt and respond to changing conditions.
