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?

    It is a lonely time for many in this strange world we find ourselves in.  Some folk are struggling with being 24/7 with their partners and children, others are feeling neglected and extremely isolated on their own especially if they have been told to isolate for 12 weeks.  I am in the latter category which as a HR professional used to a revolving door where everyone has easy access to me, is not only challenging for me, is frustrating for the managers.

    Our company is essential as  food production and supplier which means demand is up and we are recruiting, good news for the local economy.

    Many issues will come out of this for us all, stay strong, safe and well, we are all in this together.
