Supporting employees has never been more important than now, given the uncertainty we are experiencing. Although lockdowns are slowly easing, the working and business world won't be back to "normal" any time soon. In fact, perhaps it will never go back but only move forward towards a "new normal."

How can businesses best support employees and teams during this transition to a "new normal" and in forced remote working? How can employers protect their teams' wellbeing in this period? 

It's a question no-one expected to answer in this specific way, as no-one foresaw the situation as it unfolded. However, many of the same principles that should have been in-place pre-covid in the workplace can be adapted to a digital set-up; frequent communication and catch ups, social interaction opportunities and surveys are all examples discussed in today's Let's Talk.

We speak to business leaders and HR Directors today about how they are looking after their employees' wellbeing, sharing tips that every business can take-away to support their teams in this time.
