"Going into this election, the country was divided almost 50-50. So that means half of the people in our workplaces are very upset today." Jennifer Dulski, CEO of Rising Team, explains the impact of the election on workplace morale, emphasizing the need for understanding and empathy from leaders in these polarized times to support their employees who are exhausted and disheartened by the results.
"Just acknowledge that other people get some solace from walking their dog, petting their cat, taking a walk in nature," says Angela Kimball, highlighting the importance of allowing employees to engage in activities that contribute to mental well-being during a tumultuous period, stressing that acknowledgment from leaders can foster a more empathic workplace environment.
"Give them the phone number again, give them the link again, send out blast emails. Give them the information that they need to cope," urges Maria Trapenasso as she underscores the role of clear communication in ensuring employees are aware of and can access wellness resources, reinforcing the message that proactive outreach is essential in supporting staff during difficult times.
