CONSCIOUS RESTART

As the post-COVID 19 crisis continues, companies and managers are simultaneously facing a large number of highly complex situations. Many companies are in the uncomfortable position of having to face organizational, strategic and cultural challenges at the same time.

A determining factor at this time is the ability to manage the transformation taking place, adapting their activities and positively channeling change towards new business models. Central in this process, not only the identification of adequate strategic solutions but also the ability to deal positively with its external but above all internal stakeholders, i.e. its employees.

On the other hand, employees also find themselves experiencing considerable difficulties: objective problems such as falling wages, difficulties in family management, difficulties in going to work, are flanked by subjective feelings such as fear, insecurity and uncertainty about the future.

In fact, for many companies, Covid-19 has proven to be a kind of "stress test", revealing who is really ready for change through solid leadership and good employee engagement.

A very relevant issue is that of involvement, which is particularly difficult at a time when shared spaces and moments are reduced to a minimum. It is precisely in times of crisis, however, that actions taken by the company (such as interventions aimed at preserving physical health or providing support) are particularly relevant in the eyes of workers, acting as real boosters to keep people "hooked" to the company even at a distance.

A common mistake at this stage is to invest in generic interventions, not dropped on the specific reality. On the contrary, building an effective intervention necessarily means taking a first step: to know and analyze what are the real needs of its employees.

The most effective and impartial tool in this sense is the analysis of the company climate. Through this tool, in fact, it is possible to provide management with precise information, useful to frame the organizational situation, identifying areas of strength and criticality, on the basis of which to set up subsequent interventions.

Precisely for this reason, with EHR HR Development-VETHIA we have been using this tool for years to support client companies in studying and preparing the processes of change of the organizational structure and strategies. In this precise historical moment, the analysis of the climate takes on a further value, that is, to allow companies to know the impact that the lockdown and the current situation have had on their business reality. Aware of the difficulties that companies are going through, both at organizational level and people management, the final goal is to provide useful information to prevent the spread and rootedness of the main problems highlighted by workers and further accentuated by the historical moment.
