With COVID changing the way we work and live, both in Aotearoa and across the world, there are many considerations for supporting our leaders and businesses, as well as nurturing our health and wellbeing.
I am hearing people wondering:-
- Why do some people choose not to wear masks?
- How do I ask family, friends and colleagues about face coverings/vaccinations?
- How do I talk about vaccinations safely?
- How can I see a different point of view when it’s so opposed to my own?
- When can we go back to ‘normal’?
Vaccinations and other public health mandates are undoubtedly impacting our social, organisational and global cohesion. There are a continuum of views, beliefs and behaviours on this subject which often evoke intense emotions. With around 1 in 10 New Zealanders currently unvaccinated, and Government mandates for workplaces and employees; there is an unprecedented need to have uncomfortable conversations, review how we work and live, and ultimately to make difficult decisions. This series of webinars, workshops and coaching have been specifically designed based on what we currently know about the impact of Covid on how we live and work. With change being our only constant during this Pandemic, content is kept up to date with both research and real life impacts.
The Leadership workshops further recognise that as this pandemic continues, this area is an emerging leadership competency. Understanding human behaviour during these times supports the taking out of ‘personal’ reactions, thus facilitating professional decision making and actions. Awareness of this also aides workforce planning; after all if employees do depart, maintaining the relationship is a desirable for all parties.
