How employees can help companies during the pandemic
By: SAP Brazil
The speed with which companies had to adapt to this pandemic period also required employees to be at the centre of many organisations' decisions
Since the beginning of the pandemic in Brazil, companies have been adapting their business models and operations to continue operating. Many have suffered from the reduction in the number of customers and staff. Bankruptcy filings reached 30% in May and judicial reorganization filings reached 68.6%, according to data from Boa Vista. The companies that are being successful counted, among several initiatives, mainly with joint actions of leaders and employees who joined forces to adopt the best practices in the period.
Employee at the center of decisions
Sharing decision making with employees is a trend. Vertical management models are becoming obsolete and bringing the vision of team members to the center of decisions, means analyzing a problem from different perspectives, which also expands the possibilities of solutions that may arise. During the pandemic, relying on employees as an arm to define and apply solutions can make your team stronger.
Getting back to work safer
For the resumption, the companies are adapting the routine according to the determinations of sanitary organs and establishing the distance, use of mask, making available products for hygienization. The employee must act as a fundamental agent for the implementation of these changes, I understand that the care with safety and health are also their responsibility.
Ideally, everyone should be able to act autonomously to considerably reduce health risks not only internally, but also to reinforce the protection of customers, partners and the entire community.
Greater visibility of company initiatives
Companies that are present in social networks can count on the help of employees in their engagement. Sharing information about what the company is doing to ensure the safety of all, communicate how it is developing its operations and which channels it uses for sales, in the case of retail, can contribute to the dissemination of positive initiatives and greater visibility of the work done.
Support and wellness care
The tension to prevent illness and the responsibility to maintain activities must remain for a while, so it is very important to continue offering support to co-workers. Health care and wellbeing are essential for those who have returned to their jobs and for those who will continue their activities remotely.
Each employee can act to strengthen companies during the pandemic by taking a leading role in their positions, so that each process is carried out within the parameters set by local legislation and organizations. The results can be very positive for everyone.
