ヽ༼ • ͜ •༽ﾉ Nº191 What’s more fun than helping someone? ℹ️ 🚩

It is difficult times right now but I think also times where people rethink certain values in life. I am sure that the outdoors will be more important and people will enjoy more being outside not so sure of the world will be a better place as many say. I think the nice guys get nicer and the idiots more egotistic….

The quote above was lifted from Andy at OPEN’s reply to my last issue. I’ve shared it a few times privately over the course of the week.

I think we already are seeing the nice guys getting nicer already and the idiots, well… They’re making their moves too.

But let’s keep this positive, for now.

So, on that positive note: several people replied with some wonderful links to share and I’ve added them below. To further that spirit of helpfulness, I also found this article about Morale, Mental Health, and Burnout in Remote Teams. (9 mins)

So, what can you do to help avoid burnout in team in these trying times?

1. Ensure that workers are able to unplug and set boundaries. You can recommend that people turn off at the end of their day (local time), and not check messages during dinner because a colleague just came online.
2. Set clear, achievable goals. Ensure that they that are realistic and, to the extent possible, make processes predictable, so that employees can commit to sustaining a meaningful life outside of work.
