one observation I have made is that incremental and frequent communication with staff has seemed to work well to bring people along rather than hitting people all at once with changes

We’re seeing physical depletion in the early afternoon.

We have different mindsets in the organization- development and humanitarian. Asking the development folks to now repond quicker has been challenging. Additionally, hiring and onboarding virtually, while seeking funding and dealing with current project shifts has been challenging.

We are seeing a lessening in ability to think,, and totally agree on afternoon energy depletion. I gave our small staff 5 hours of PTO each week, to manage as they need, to address all the demands on them.

the uncertainty weighs heavily on people

Yes, staff engagement and transparency is working well.

evidence for us: denial, pushback, going their own way, denial, not being able to answer questions they could previously

We’ve always been remote, so we’re busy helping our clients adjust to the nuances of a distributed workforce.

I hate to, but I have to jump. Can’t wait for the recording!!

Same here!

Speaking to capacity - we went from a dozen laptops BC to nearly 150 AC. It's been a capacity shock but staff seem energized.

Can the organizers pls be sure to (re) send the link to the paper that Ed has mentioned on this topic. Thx!

Will do along with slides.

….would making this into a worksheet be helpful?

Deborah -- Yes! on the worksheet idea. Can there be more specific guidance on steps in the process; decision tools etc.

Randall - will see what is possible in collaboration with Daryl and Ed. Thanj you for the feedback. Helpful.

Thanks for the good session - have to shift to another meeting.

How do you make sure that the guidelines are not so broad that people can still make EVERYTHING fit?

Thank you everyone, interesting insight.

Thank you so much.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks!!
