First Psychology have created a toolkit that covers different topics of support for staff returning back to work after Lockdown.
We have had to deal with all sorts of issues from increased anxiety, social isolation, and relationship conflicts to childcare issues, financial worries, illness, and bereavement. It is likely that most people will need a period of adjustment when faced with returning to ‘normal’ working life, and many may struggle to adapt to the significant changes that will need to be implemented to keep everyone safe.
The toolkit aims to help and gear-up employers to best support members of staff returning to work. The toolkit can be found and downloaded for free by following the link here.
There is also a webinar avaliable that covers the topic of supporting staff returning to work, suited to employers and managers to help them support their staff through this transitional period. This includes topics such as:
- How to create an atmosphere that encourages open communication and allows employees to come forward with concerns.
- How to recognise signs of anxiety, negative effects of social isolation, and trauma resulting from bereavements.
- Some tips for managers and team leaders to help them look after themselves.
Some organisations may also have a need to offer training to support groups of staff on some of the stresses and anxieties arising from current circumstances, and their impact on work and life. First Pyschology are able to offer a range of training and support programs in this area and are happy to provide more information on these upon request.
If you have any questions or queries regarding the service or resources, please contact us on 0845-872-1780 or by email at info@firstpsychology-assistance.co.uk.
