His Story
What’s your perception of the overall mood of your team?
What’s your perception of the overall mood of your team?
Hopeful and ready to work together.
What are you doing to stay safe? What is the protocol and how is it different from more normal conditions?
Cleaning more often, sanitizing hands several times a day and wearing PPE.
When this started and through the process how did it shape your reality? How are you handling the reality that you are seeing families have to endure?
Knowing there is something invisible out there makes you more cautious to touching objects, wiping face. It has totally changed the way I have functioned.
What’s the day like – what things are you seeing on a daily basis?
Masks and gloves are everywhere, although people are kinder to one another.
Your team’s mental health – how is it impacting everyone? What do you do for self care – how are you taking care of yourself/ your mental, physical and spiritual?
Staying calm, being mindful and relaxing at home.
From your point of view how have you personally been impacted?
I have a new awareness of how easily this virus can be transmitted.
What are you learning from this experience that may change the way you respond or plan and prepare in the future?
Less hand-to-hand transactions and keeping the habits of cleaning. I think it is a plus to be on top of things that way.
