What people have told us
5
• Operationally - pride in adaptability and flexibility
• Different set up at home - isolation, children, the elderly, sickness and bereavements
• Engagement - peaks and troughs
• Mental health issues - yours and others
• Guilt
• Inconsistent skills / EQ levels amongst managers and influencers
• Increased collaboration and connection - a sense that we must not lose the benefits

Building inclusion through everyday interactions
• What if you were in the lift?
• How would you feel?
• What would you say / do? What would that depend upon?
• What might other people see in your reaction?
• How will that conference call go (that you are late for)?
• How would you feel the next time you see Terry?

What about these?
On a video call – Max and Samara are both back in the office (socially distancing) Tina and Frank are dialing in WFH. Max says he thinks people are now just overreacting to the whole covid thing. It has been blown out of all proportion. He’s glad to get back to the office. [Tina is home shielding; she lost her mother to covid-19 early on in the pandemic.]
Gina is making a coffee and chatting with Anton. He asks her what she thinks of the Black Lives Matter movement and whether she thinks it’s going to change things for her in the organisation.
Janet is late for the daily check in call for the third time in a row and does not apologise or announce her arrival.
