First up… hope everyone is doing well. These last few months have been quite interesting and it is now understood that the risk COVID-19 is likely to be in our community for at least 2 years. So, the important of social distancing and the ability to isolate, track and trace are our weapons in this invisible war! The new ‘normal’ for life in general (work or personal) will bring with it challenges, potentially unforeseeable risks and, as we have seen from various news reports, new opportunities!
So change is going to be constant and how change affects each of us varies. Change can impact a method of work, the adoption of or transition to a new process, ways of learning, how we communicate etc… Remember though, not all persons adapt to changes the way we expect or plan, so it is vital from a psychological perspective to ensure workers are supported, given clear instructions, adequate training and recognition. Remember to stay informed from your relevant State and Local Regulators and utilise the publications and resources provided by WorkSafe Australia.
Righto, rant is over, update is next.
