Today’s Topic – Mindset – Ask For What You Need As You Return To Work

Let’s start with the reason that it is time to go back to work.

Returning to the work setting has nothing to do with the employer.

According to a study conducted by McKinsey & Company, employees are asking for well communicated information about the COVID, feeling anxious about the future of the organization, burnt out and feeling underrepresented, needing a more flexible schedule after the COVID is over, and needed to work from home at least 3 days a week.

Employees, here are a few tips to return to work:

· Ask for a flexible schedule; possibly working 3 days from home.

· Get up and get dressed everyday. Do not lounge around in your night clothes. You are still at work or seeking employment.

· Let your employer know that they can trust you. Do what you say you will do when you say you will do it. Stick to deadlines.

· Find a place in the home that allows for you to complete your work away from the tv and distractions.

· Practice social distancing…

· Take some time to breathe and focus on your mental health. Seek a counselor if you need one. Tell the truth about about your story when you meet with them.

· Make a personal choice to go back full time for you and your family. Remember to do something that you love to do and it will never feel like work.

· Practice a positive mindset to make it easier to be aware of your strengths.

· Spend time feeding the mind great thoughts about yourself with positive affirmations.

· Reflect on where you want to be.

· Write them down in your journal every day.

· Appreciate and be grateful for all of your blessings.

· Express your gratefulness to those that support you.

· Say it out of your mouth. People need to hear it. We can’t read your minds.

You are not alone.
