Human Dynamic to Reveal Crisis Management for Business Leaders Amid COVID-19 and Tips for Working from Home Effectively
Tips for Working from Home Effectively
Get Prepared to Work from Home
a) Dedicated space: Depending upon the nature of your business and work, number of calls etc. You would need to identify a place with least disturbance, phone and internet connectivity, and ample charging sockets. Also, let this not be your bed or couch!
b) Defined work schedule: Slot your schedule aligning with your work shift, plan breaks and punch in meeting reminders so you can follow a routine.
c) Clear boundaries: Let people around you know about your home-work space and your schedule. It would be of help to dress up just as you would have when going to the office to keep the momentum going.
Ensuring employees are regularly in touch and being communicated with
When there is constant fear and uncertainty already looming in the environment, the additional restriction of people contact can add to the loss of morale and feelings of isolation impacting the functioning of the team. Connect with the team through video conferences at least once in two days with a pre-decided agenda.
Being cognizant of others’ unique circumstances
Have any of your colleague’s friends or families been exposed to the virus? Is any aspect of their daily life significantly affected? What is their state of mind? By being mindful of this, conducting respectful and compassionate dialogue and being humane while discussing work responsibilities can be a simple way to express concern.
Delegating tasks with clear and detailed guidelines and manageable deadline
Functioning virtually may have many lags in terms of role definition in a certain project or aspect. A clear email, followed by a discussion to ensure that the task at hand is clear and there is no duplication of work is key. A manager should be aware of everyone’s role, ensuring that changes are communicated to the teams effectively.
Trusting the team
While it may seem like there is a lot of back and forth, checking on the team is also important to show trust. Reminders and checks can be constant but controlled.
While the work from home option may seem temporary at the moment, we are slowly moving towards a global team that is connected virtually. Therefore, the need of the hour is to understand the dynamics of a virtual team and focus on the skills required to manage one efficiently.
