CHALLENGES
    • Due to  corona pandemic and lockdown 
     company secretaries and professionals 
     facing many challenges.
    • Managing team members Managing staff remotely is 
     an entirely different skill to managing in person. Having 
     the tools and resources to communicate and track work 
     logs and projects is an integral part of creating an 
     environment that is conducive to productivity and not 
     falling into the downward spiral of micro-management. 
    • A home office is a very different environment to 
     its traditional counterpart. 
    • Challenges of implementation remain both from the 
     employers and employees’ perspectives.
  Mental Health and 
  Wellbeing 
  The sudden shift in work culture took a toll 
  on overall employee health and wellbeing. 
  Stress, anxiety, and other mental health 
  issues have always been there, and it is no 
  new story. Organizations have always been 
  initiating wellness programs and providing 
  employees with security, health benefits, 
  and flexibility to help them overcome their 
  health issues
  Employee Communication
  Communication is another major challenge 
  that is on the priority list. Communication, in 
  itself, is a critical aspect that needs to be 
  taken into account whether or not the 
  workforce is working remotely. 
   Employee Engagement
   The ultimate company goal is the 
   productivity of its employees. It becomes 
   challenging to keep the employees engaged 
   when they are working remotely and that 
   too, in a crisis. The internal communication
    is compromised, and keeping everyone on 
   the same page becomes tough.
   Uncertainty
   Uncertainty can paralyze anyone. The 
   daunting feeling of not knowing what the 
   future holds or what measures to take to 
   sustain organizational operations is a huge 
   challenge. We all are more or less affected 
   by uncertainty. 
   Flexible work arrangements
   In order to ensure minimal contact between 
   employees, as well as between employees 
   and customers, suppliers, and other 
   stakeholders, flexible work arrangements 
   should be considered. For staff that are not 
   required to be in the office, remote working 
   should be enabled.
  •Split team arrangements
  • A way to mitigate the unnecessary spreading of the 
   virus and to ensure business continuity is to split 
   teams. If one person within a team is infected, the 
   rest will most likely be put into quarantine meaning 
   they will not be able to work (if their position does 
   not allow for remote working).
