Are you and your team working from home in the post-Covid era? Here’s our helpful tips for managing the mental health and wellbeing of your flexi-workers and remote teams. 

Managing mental health whilst home

 

  • Have enough rest between periods of work
  • Eat Healthy, fresh food where you can 
  • Go for a walk, run or cycle in the fresh air!
  • Stay in contact with Family and Friends – don’t lock yourself away
  • Avoid too much alcohol or smoking
  • Be mindful of your children’s reaction to the situation – you may want to “get on and do something” but taking time out to be with them will help you in the long run
  • Or your parent’s reaction if you’re are carer
  • Maintain home and business routines, if possible
  • Use technology for meetings/family contact – you’ll feel less isolated
  • Feeling anxious? Switch off the media – do something you love instead…read, listen to some music and breathe!
  • Feeling lonely? Make yourself a coffee, pick up the phone, have a chat with a friend or Skype call them instead, take a break – don’t give yourself a hard time!

Keep Safe and Well Everyone!

Ripple HR Managing Remote Working

 

  • Make time to call our team members daily and set up frequent team calls
  • Give them the chance to tell you about their challenges and how they are feeling
  • Do the “small talk” not just the “work talk”
  • Use online meetings to see each other – facial expressions can give you clues – who might need a little more of your time?
  • Tell them the best way to contact you – especially if it’s urgent
  • Create some fun meetings for socialising not just business, creating a positive atmosphere
  • Acknowledge their feelings, recognise and empathise
  • Ask them to share positive actions which are helping them cope
  • Provide assurances, be positive, encourage and explore experiences to help them focus on being positive
  • Don’t exclude the negatives – explore those too and potential mitigating actions
  • Acknowledge their stress or anxiety and reaffirm your confidence in them.

"Thank you and Ripple HR for your assistance with our clients HR needs recently, in inducting new staff and terminating others. Our go to provider for ourselves and our clients Human Resources. Timely, accurate and professional as always. Thank You As Always"

Gareth Payne

Fruition Accountancy

"Jane has supported us with a number of HR functions over the last year including recruitment. Thanks to Jane we saved money on recruitment and have a much higher success rate with our new starters.

Alex Johnson

Panda in Chief, Avid Panda

“I wanted to thank you for your HR support to our business earlier on this year. It was a particularly challenging time for our company. Your knowledge and expertise enabled us to deal with our HR matters swiftly and professionally. Moreover, we found you incredibly reassuring and approachable, even offering support for hours above and beyond the normal working day. Thank you for helping us and making a difficult situation easy to get through."

Nathalie Rush

Managing Director, Six Star Group

"Jane has been a great help to the UX team at XpertHR. Regularly giving up her time and sharing her invaluable insights and experience as we continue to develop both core and new products."

David Mitchell

Head of UX, XpertHR

"As a small business recruiting its first staff, I was struggling to find suitable Employment Contracts without incurring solicitors' fees when Ripple HR was recommended to me. Jane knows her subject and was able to provide exactly what we needed along with advice on the steps we needed to take and the timescales, all at very reasonable cost. Employment can be very stressful for a small business and I'd recommend Ripple HR to anyone in this situation."

Tadgh Buckley

Pump Express Ltd

"With now over 20 employees, my “deal with it as it arises” approach was starting to struggle; my inadvertent inconsistencies were being noticed by staff and perceived as inequality, and certain individuals had started testing the limits. I also didn't appreciate at the time the extent to which I was out of date with legislation. For a fraction of the cost of full time HR, Jane has put in place a straight forward system that we can operate, documented our policies into a comprehensive employee handbook and standardised the HR contracts with updates to current legislation. Staff have readily accepted her as our HR professional and Jane manages to carry the necessary authority whilst being accepted as an approachable confidante. Its also reassuring to have the Ripple HR expertise available when situations do arise and letting Jane handle our recruitment and exiting processes when required has been an easy decision to make."

Chris Biglin

Pedrollo

"Thank you for the HR advice and support which Ripple HR have provided during the course of the past few months. I speak on behalf of all our directors when I say the service was top notch. Please pass on our thanks to Jane. Although you have only recently joined the business it is clear you are a wonderful addition and together you are a fabulous team. Ripple’s attention to detail and understanding of our requirements is much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend your company and services to our network of clients and suppliers."

Mark Meredith

Area Eco

“Sensitivity to mental health had always been my intention but I definitely had a blind spot. Then an issue arose to test me. Jane supported me with her guidance, counsel, judgement, and encouragement. She gave me the confidence to always say and do the right thing. As a result, the situation has been resolved professionally, elegantly and kindly which feels really good for all concerned.”
