A couple of key points that Caroline McEnery @TheHRSuite and @elmaoreilly @parallelldn shared this morning on the @IIBN webinar:

1. Get into the helicopter and look at your business strategy for the next 3, 6 and 12 months. Align your #HR strategy accordingly.

(1/5)

2. #Communication is critical. Have you daily check-ins, normal one-to-one meetings and don't assume people know what you're thinking.

3. Information on the #furlough system in the UK is changing all the time. Explain that to your staff and that you're keeping up to date. (2/5)

4. This is a time when your brand values really have a chance to shine or will be challenged. If you've said that you offer #flexibleworking for example, this is the time when your policy is being put to the test. Some brands are showing they're true to their brand promise. (3/5)

5. Put a #Covid19 policy in place pulling in the elements of your normal #HR handbook.

6. Now is a good time to review how this new process people have been parachuted into. Check in.

7. The more visual the communication, the better.

8. Keep an (accountable) schedule (4/5)

9. If you're considering restructuring, tread carefully with legislation.

10. Emotional intelligence in senior leaders is of growing importance.

11. This is an opportunity to cement your staff's loyalty.

12. Employers need to take care of themselves too.
