resilience in the workplace

Getting Through a Tough Winter at Work

The spread of COVID-19 has caused many people around the world to change their everyday lives. We’ve been asked to help “flatten the curve” to avoid a spike in cases that would overwhelm our health services.

For some of us, this means that we have to self-isolate, and for others, it means working from home for the foreseeable future. Some of us continue going to workplaces because of the essential nature of our work, while still others may face the prospect of job loss.

These are all difficult situations, and everyone has their own response to stress. This is a good time to remember, however, that you have resilience skills and you can cope.

The HRchat show guest this time is Bobby Umar, CEO of DYPB – Discover Your Personal Brand. Bobby suggests that “we are now in the ‘Eye of the Storm’ and doing our best to navigate the uncertainty, overwhelm and changing workplace and business cultures”.
