‘We have to adapt with the changing times and we have to adapt to what are employees are needing’

So excited to speak with Selena Alcover who is an Employee Experience Manager at National Grid.

We discuss the impact of the current pandemic on employees and Selena offers tangible advice to leaders on supporting their workforce through these challenging times as well as opening up about her own personal struggle of becoming a first time parent in the midst of a pandemic.

We go deep on:

• Remembering to ask for advice and help
  
• Stress and new challenges caused by the pandemic
  
• Adapting to the changing needs of employees
  
• The shared experience of the pandemic
  
• Leading by example and promoting work/life balance
  
• Driving mental health conversations and championing open culture in the workplace
  
• How to support employees during maternity
  
• Managing maternity cover dynamics
  
• The benefits of remote working
