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?

  • Hi Samantha,
    You are not alone.
    As our employees look to us for reassurance, we too also need that support. In addition it is also a challenging time in terms of adapting to new ways of working, such as working from home.
    I have been working from home since Tuesday and it has been a real period of adjustment, with trying to keep focus, while away from the usual routine of having a desk and colleagues around.
    However, I am trying to carry on by dressing as though I am going to work and checking in with colleagues, to keep that similar pattern of routine going, just to retain some normality and accept this is a change, but it won't be forever.
