For the last 40 days we have been pounded by the word Social Distancing.
Did it actually happen or did we get more Socially “connected” more than ever before ???
By the last 40 days experience I believe the right word to be used should be Physical distancing rather than social distancing and be Postively Socially connected & enabled.
As humans, we are wired to be connected and we cannot survive without doing so.
While we are seeing the relaxation in Lockdown at its various stages, it is important that we still be conscious of the factor that Corona Virus is still around and will be, till a cure is found.
With offices opening, we will be seeing people movement gradually picking up. Remember, staying safe is not for you alone. You have family and friends around you. You are the pivot and soul of these relationships. If you get affected, you directly or indirectly affect them. Hence, it’s important that one keep physical distancing and yet be connected to all your near and dear ones, thanks to social media.
For all office goers, it’s like a war zone. Not knowing where the enemy is lurking…in this case, the enemy being Corona.
As a resposible employer & employee, it’s very important to do the following diligently, at all our office premises::
1. Wear hand gloves & mask.
2. Maintain arm length distance.
3. Cover your nose & mouth while on the move or in a conversation.
4. Avoid multiple touch surfaces like Handles (Gate, Door, Cabin, Cupboard), Switches, Tabletops, Chairs etc.
5. Have your own personal Coffe/tea cups & lunch boxes
6. Avoid common resources for atleast a month’s time or till things settle down.
7. Carry a personal sanitizer.
8. Stop sharing mask, hanky’s , gloves.
9. Be socially connected and create positive communication channels
10. Be, compasinate and caring with your fellow colleagues.
11. In case, God forbid, you or any of your family develop cold, cough or any breathing difficulty, compulsorily avoid going to office and keep your HR and superiors informed.
12. Avoid sharing corona related jokes/fake informations. Measured pieces of important information should be passed form the designated source with in the organisation only.
13. Use your social media to share your achievements, success stories of your organisation, achievements of your fellow colleagues, Appreciation letters of your customers/vendors etc.
14. Call once a while your fellow members who are Woking from Home.
15. Create enough opportunities at work place to engage, energise & engineer a new wave of Hope, Confidence & Camaraderie.
Make the work environment more enjoyable than before… Be Safe # Stay safe
