Communication in a Pandemic

What messages are you sharing with your team?

I’ve been emailing my workforce daily. Over-communicating.

Because it’s important to feel connected. To our company, our friends and family. It’s a critical factor for mental health.

I’m sharing company updates, local coranavirus and lockdown news. I’m also sharing tips and guidelines for maintaining emotional health that includes:

Physical Health:
Getting enough sleep, exercise, eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of water.

Brain Exercise:
Studying a new language, learning card tricks, origami or even watching the history channel.

Giving Back:
Finding ways to help a friend, a team member or a stranger. Donating time, effort or cash to someone in need, or to our frontliners. Giving to others provides perspective and makes us feel good.

Living In The Moment:
Instead of catastrophizing about the future with all its uncertainty, thinking about what we are doing right now. Focussing on the things we do have control over.

Joy:
In #quarantines and #lockdowns around the world, hilarious photos and videos are emerging. Finding something to laugh at every day.

What are the key messages you are sending to your team? What is your company communicating to you?
