MENTAL HEALTH and our evolving workplace norms
“Facing the complex emotions associated with resuming in-person work”
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
After over a year of working remotely, many employees have mixed emotions about resuming in-person work and returning to the office, including excitement, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty, to name a few. Concerns about exposure to the COVID-19 virus, reduction in flexibility, resuming a daily commute, office safety and cleanliness protocols, and vaccine-related expectations are a few emerging pain points. In this important and timely webinar, Dr. Lauren C. Taveras, a licensed clinical psychologist, will guide us through an exploration of these concerns, and more, while identifying concrete strategies to manage our emotions, focus on what lies within our locus of control, and practice perspective-taking to promote an inclusive, compassionate transition back to the workplace.
