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.
