Oramique: As the Doors Begin to Open… How Do We Face the New Normal?

As the Doors Begin to Open… How Do We Face the New Normal?

Here in Greece, we are well on our way to re-opening our lives after the Corona virus lockdown, while other countries are still steps behind. Regardless of which stage we are in, we are all facing new issues that we need to consider.

Amongst others, is how to adapt personally and professionally to this new-found freedom. Though this is desperately good news for companies and individuals, it is also a stressful time for many. Depending on the sector of your business, different questions arise as to how to proceed: how to implement the measures mandated by the government, and even trying to weave through the lengthy official guidelines, as well as how to balance who stays at home and who comes back to the workplace.

Who to let go and who to bring back? Some individuals are happier working from home, while some wish to return to work. How does the company bounce back financially? All of these are unavoidable questions that have to be faced.

First and foremost, we are people and then we are professionals. We need to consider issues using our strengths as people. To best do this, we must calmly gain clarity, assess the situation and the damage, and then evaluate the fallout and consider what measures need to be taken. We should prioritise and then proceed with the necessary steps, using as much empathy and rationality as possible. It also helps to understand and accept that there are certain things we can and cannot change. We need to reach inside and find our strength to calmly step into this new normal in the best way possible for everyone involved.
