[MUSIC PLAYING] NARRATOR: Ensuring employee mental health has always
been important for building a strong organizational culture.
However, COVID-19 has driven a large portion of the workforce
to work from home for the first time and almost every aspect
of life has changed.
These changes create a new set of challenges for managers
to support and stay connected with their newly
remote workforce.
It's more important than ever to lead with mental health in mind
as we face this situation.
Leaders can lead by example within organizations—
an even more critical role
in our new remote workforce.
It's on us to help create an encouraging space
for our teams.
So what can managers do to support
their team's mental health during these unique times?
This video series explores nonverbal communication cues
to help identify behaviors that might indicate an employee
needs support;
how leaders can communicate about the importance of time
off without guilt, fear, or shame;
reducing virtual meeting overload
(yes that's the thing!);
and promoting wellness and self care.
There is no time to waste.
So let's get started. [MUSIC PLAYING]
