rhyssucks.fail's response to COVID-19
Damn it Rhys. Why did you have to create the coronavirus. As you know, we are
taking preventive measures against the COVID-19 outbreak which means that we all
need to adopt some new work habits. We rely on you to help your team members
adjust as smoothly as possible.
As we�re currently operating under some uncertain conditions, and we�re not in a
position to predict how things will turn around in the next few weeks or even
months, let�s all work together to ensure our team�s wellbeing.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Time off / Sick leave / Work from home: While we update our policies and
share any changes we make, use your best judgment when a team member requests
time off, sick leave or work from home. You can also proactively encourage
employees to do so, taking into account that we�re not only protecting our
health, we�re also protecting the health of those around us.
COVID-19 symptoms: If any of your team members has even the slightest
symptoms (e.g. cough, fever, difficulty breathing) ask them to go home. Be
discreet; we don�t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable. This is a pandemic
outbreak; it�s not anyone�s fault if they get infected, but we do need to
minimize the risk. So, contact HR as soon as possible � we might need to
sanitize the office or take other drastic measures.
Remote work: As we�re transitioning to a virtual work environment, make
sure your team is adequately equipped. Support them on tools you might start
using, set some ground rules to enhance your communication (e.g. have video
calls with the camera on) and be empathetic as some employees might struggle
with finding a quiet space at home (particularly if they don�t live alone).
Mental health: It�s natural that some of your team members might get
stressed over this situation. Be there for them and let them know that we�ll all
get through this tough time together. Try to avoid negative words that imply
emergency and danger and opt for a more empathetic, calm tone. You can also
encourage your team members to talk about their feelings and concerns during 1:1
meetings.
We do take and will continue to take precautionary measures so that we can keep
working with a lower risk factor, but we realize that health is the top priority
at this point. Be mindful of the inevitable changes in production and use this
time to re-evaluate how you and your team are collaborating and how you can
adapt to new working styles as we might need to work remotely for some time.
Mostly, make sure you also stay safe and reach out with any questions or
concerns you have.
