CHALLENGES • Due to corona pandemic and lockdown company secretaries and professionals facing many challenges. • Managing team members Managing staff remotely is an entirely different skill to managing in person. Having the tools and resources to communicate and track work logs and projects is an integral part of creating an environment that is conducive to productivity and not falling into the downward spiral of micro-management. • A home office is a very different environment to its traditional counterpart. • Challenges of implementation remain both from the employers and employees’ perspectives. Mental Health and Wellbeing The sudden shift in work culture took a toll on overall employee health and wellbeing. Stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues have always been there, and it is no new story. Organizations have always been initiating wellness programs and providing employees with security, health benefits, and flexibility to help them overcome their health issues Employee Communication Communication is another major challenge that is on the priority list. Communication, in itself, is a critical aspect that needs to be taken into account whether or not the workforce is working remotely. Employee Engagement The ultimate company goal is the productivity of its employees. It becomes challenging to keep the employees engaged when they are working remotely and that too, in a crisis. The internal communication is compromised, and keeping everyone on the same page becomes tough. Uncertainty Uncertainty can paralyze anyone. The daunting feeling of not knowing what the future holds or what measures to take to sustain organizational operations is a huge challenge. We all are more or less affected by uncertainty. Flexible work arrangements In order to ensure minimal contact between employees, as well as between employees and customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders, flexible work arrangements should be considered. For staff that are not required to be in the office, remote working should be enabled. •Split team arrangements • A way to mitigate the unnecessary spreading of the virus and to ensure business continuity is to split teams. If one person within a team is infected, the rest will most likely be put into quarantine meaning they will not be able to work (if their position does not allow for remote working).
