Listen "Stepping up in crisis"
Episode Synopsis
The lockdown has affected each of us differently - depending on which stage of our lives we are in. With businesses trying to survive and jobs on the line; maintaining our mental health seems more important than ever. But how can managers effectively lead, while juggling all this?
In the first part of the show, I speak with Dr Jo Yarker, organisational psychologist and director of Affinity Health at Work, about the importance of managing the individual within the team and why maintaining good habits is essential in order to lead.
In the second part, Lee Chambers, environmental psychologist, wellbeing trainer and founder of Essentialise, talks about his own redundancy experience in the 2008 economic crash, how he bounced back after losing his ability to walk, and how he is advising his clients on supporting furloughed and non-furloughed employees. With discussions unfolding about returning to the office, Lee says proactive communication by employers will be key.
