Are any other HR people feeling a bit lonely in all this :(

Samantha

Hi

Sorry its a self indulgent one.

Just wondering if anyone else is feeling a bit lonely?  I have streams of people coming in to my office concerned about it and asking what our plans are for WFH and sickness and about 101 other queries and being openly worried and I have to sit here and be the cabin crew and exude calmness.  Yet I am just as concerned as everyone else.

Managers and Directors etc look to us for calm, measured guidance and practical advice, and being so close to the 'inner circle' and hearing first hand the impact on the business etc.....very worrying, I'm feeling a bit forgotten about and just wondered if anyone else is feeling the same?  It just feels like sometimes people forget that we count as employees too?

  • I think the problem for me is that the situation is changing on an almost minute by minute basis. We just get finished preparing a plan and communications ready to send out and then it changes. Its really tough to keep up and because I am trying to keep up to date for the business I am reading far too much about this which is not great for my own wellbeing.

    There are also so many sources of information and not all of them are reliable - some seem to be really scaremongering and of course employees see this and think the worst so fighting the "fake news" out there is also tough.
