Slowly but surely, the world is trying its best to return to normal after almost a year and a half of disruption caused by the coronavirus crisis. Labor Solutions has noticed that a lot has changed during that time. People have lost jobs, switched careers, and learned how to start over in an emergency. Businesses have collapsed while others have flourished. The rules of the game have changed, and you’re going to need to adjust in order to succeed.
Hiring and Managing in 2021 and Beyond
If you own or manage a company that has been shut down or working at reduced capacity recently, you need to expect to do some things differently moving forward. At Labor Solutions, we’ve had to make plenty of changes just to continue serving our clients. The first order of business is ensuring the well-being of your staff and customers through new health and safety protocols.
As you institute the new plans for sanitizing shared spaces and ensuring that your ventilation system is up to par, remember to communicate with your workers. They may have concerns that need to be addressed. Be transparent with your plans and ready to hear what your employees have to say. Don’t overlook the emotional aspects of returning to work, either. There are a lot of factors at play for many people in this process, so prepare to be flexible and understanding.
When it comes to flexibility, evaluate what work needs to be done on site and what can be done remotely. Evaluate which team members will need more time working from home and who will be available to come in to cover shifts in emergencies. Don’t forget to regularly express your appreciation for the effort and sacrifices your employees make as they adjust to the new working conditions.
