Covid-19 Support

Offering your staff all the support and guidance they need after a taxing few years.

A Changed World
and Workplace

Organisations globally are finding themselves facing an unprecedented level of changes to their workplace. Likely, Covid-19 has prompted a high-level crisis response for all organisations. At FD Consultants, we understand how your working life has changed due to the pandemic, and our aim is to help you not only adapt, but best support your staff through what has been an emotionally tumultuous period for us all. Understanding what you can be doing to effectively support your team and wider organisation in this changing world is the first step to building a resilient workforce.

Adapting to Covid-19

Being able to adapt to a changing way of living and working is the very first step to managing the effects of Covid-19. Things simply aren’t going to look the same as they used to. Our way of managing, supporting, and working with one another needs to reflect the ways our environment and collective wellbeing have shifted, and this all starts with flexibility.

Supporting Your Organisation Through Covid-19 Challenges

Crisis Support

Our team of experienced consultants will be able to offer effective crisis support services tailored to whatever challenges your staff may be facing in light of the pandemic. For example, if a staff member passed away from Covid-19, then your team is going to be facing a difficult and emotional time. Having a crisis support expert on your side will ensure that this is navigated professionally and empathetically. These are situations your staff are unlikely to have encountered before, and you deserve to have all the support you need to guide yourself and your team through this time.

Counselling
and Support

Simply having counselling services readily available can make your workplace a safer, more supportive environment. It’s natural for many of us to be feeling heightened anxiety. This could be regarding health, safety, or even just returning to the workplace. Added nerves or contradicting emotions surrounding this period are inevitable, and all you can do to guide your staff through this time is to provide them with all the support they need. Living and working through a pandemic is a trauma event, and therefore trauma specialist counsellors are needed.

Training and
Workshops

Undergoing training and workshops as a team can achieve several important results. Firstly, it can help unite your staff, grow trust and strengthen relationships. Secondly, these workshops can be catered to help develop specific ways of handling this difficult time. Our support team can walk your staff through workshops such as resilience-building programs, helping your team to learn new ways to adapt and manage this period successfully. Covid has opened up many organisations to talk about mental health best practices. Let’s keep those conversations going. 

Our Goal

Adapting to the way Covid-19 has affected us, our world, and our businesses isn’t a choice. Things can’t return to the way they used to be. Finding ways to be creative, patient, and supportive for your staff throughout this uncertain time is a vital necessity. When your staff feel heard and supported in a timely manner, their recovery will be quicker and easier. Help staff transition back into the workplace, or recognise those who have been on the frontline and may be close to burnout. Embed support systems into the workplace to enable staff to remain resilient through challenging times.

Adapting to Covid-19

Being able to adapt to a changing way of living and working is the very first step to managing the effects of Covid-19. Things simply aren’t going to look the same as they used to. Our way of managing, supporting, and working with one another needs to reflect the ways our environment and collective wellbeing have shifted, and this all starts with flexibility.

This pandemic forced many workplaces to reconsider the ways of working that they considered most effective and productive. For those on the frontline working from home was not an option, whereas for others we had to learn how to work remotely. Even as life slowly begins to transition, this adaptability is something we need to carry with us. Continue allowing flexibility to drive your workplace, taking into consideration blended work approaches, and responding to the needs of your staff.

Similarly, we need to be carrying our newfound creativity into our current working lives. Covid-19 forced many of us to find new ways of doing things. New ways of relating to others and staying productive. Being creative is one of the best ways to strengthen resilience, and you should both encourage and support creative outlets within your workplace. Let this period of rebuilding be an opportunity to change the way things have been done. How could you be creating new systems of working? What creative solutions to ongoing issues can be resolved?

There are many things this virus has taught us. Patience, the importance of connecting with one another, and how essential emotional support is from our leaders in the workplace. As your organisation recovers from a challenging time, try to find the things that you can be carrying with you from this period that can strengthen the overall success of your staff.
