Returning to work post lockdown – The New Normal
On this episode of Let’s Talk Mental Health with Mel Noton, we’re joined by Rab and Katie as they discuss the return to work post-lockdown and pandemic.
In this show we will consider the return to work post lockdown and pandemic. We will be looking at the mental health impacts of being off/away from work for up to a year, and the potential opportunities to support staff as they return, make the most of the benefits that we have found working in lockdown, and support areas that are challenging.
We will consider that we are all different from the version of ourselves in March 2020, and that some will have had deeply traumatic experiences through this time. Looking at ideas to help, finding ‘time to understand’, the value of showing empathy/compassion, & ideas to involve staff in the visions/goals of the team/company.

Why joining a community of business leaders can enhance your reputation and credibility
I read a LinkedIn post recently that reassured business owners that if they’d managed to keep their businesses going during recession, Brexit, COVID and the cost-of-living crisis that they deserved a huge pat on the back and shouldn’t ‘beat themselves up’. Easier said than done when costs are rising and doing business seems to get harder rather than easier, but the sentiment was well-placed.

Nobody likes a ‘know it all’ and let’s face it, there’s no such thing. At the other end of the scale, many of us don’t create enough time to take on board new ideas, innovation and creativity in whatever format. How many times have you been recommended to read a book, get sent the link, go on Amazon, maybe even buy it but it just sits on your bookshelf? Come to think of it, as an aside, just think about that for a second….I wonder what the actual percentage of books purchased are actually read? Frightening thought!
