Many companies have decided to bring back their employees to the office, but many others are not yet prepared to do so and much less taking into consideration the Delta variant.

If you’re finding yourself unprepared to bring your team back, then take this opportunity to boost your team’s morale with a series of tips—and keep them motivated despite the circumstances—by having them engaged and happy through some premium and memorable macaron boxes… and yes, we can take care of everything for you 😉

Remote working is the new black

And this isn’t a secret to anyone. The pandemic has revolutionized the workplace and teams are changing the way in which they are both communicating and working.

It’s not easy to make an estimate of how many companies have embraced remote work, but if you’re a part of these numbers, don’t worry because you can still keep your employees tightly knit together despite the distance.

And to give you a tad bit of tranquility, Insider recently shared the decision 21 major companies in the US took regarding remote working… and just so you know, nope, you’re definitely not alone in your decision to stay home.

Still, how to keep on making it work from home?

First and foremost, give your employees a sense of belonging. The Wall Street Journal suggested that one crucial factor that distinguishes successful companies from not-so-successful companies is that they make their employees really feel like they belong.

And although we’ve all become a little bit more adjusted to the pandemic and to this new way of living and working, it’s still super important to inculcate something that will truly be prized by your employees: a sense of belonging, security, support, guidance, and trust.

What will this mean to you? A crucial condition for fostering your team’s creativity, innovation, and most importantly, happiness.

Communication, communication, and more communication

We can’t say it enough. Remember that if your overall communication strategy isn’t successful, then engaging (for REAL) your team will be practically… mission impossible 7.

How can you add effort and prioritize your relationships with -and among- your employees? The employee communications platform, Smarp, has a thorough guide that can help you on this super important task.

Check-in on them!

The pandemic has played a huge (for many, not-so-good) role in everyone’s mental health. Check-in on your employees well being as much as possible: frequent “how are you feeling today?” goes a long way.

Don’t let your team feel disconnected from you and make yourself available to them whenever they might need you. Also, don’t wait for them to speak up because it might be too late then… in reality, many of them will never decide to raise their voice themselves.

Need anymore?

Keep your team close, engaged, satisfied, and happy through communication, a sense of belonging, by checking in on them, and with French macarons!
