Hi All, the ongoing rise of Covid cases is giving a tough time to all of us—lockdown cities, dropping economy. We are an IT company based in Gurgaon and have allowed our employees to work from home since 6th March 2020. It's been so long that there is no social interaction apart from video conferencing and voice calls.
As an HR professional, I was thinking of looking out for some sort of online activity in which they all can participate to deal with the stress. All of us have been following a daily routine for so long, and suddenly due to this outbreak, we have had to forcefully change our routine.
Can you please suggest something for the same?
Thanks, Tanya

Dear Tanya, I understand your concern for employees who have been working from home for a long time. There is no respite even on weekends; they have to stay at home whether for work or otherwise. However, this is general stress that has originated from monotony.
The stress of unemployment
What about those who are sitting at home without doing anything? Employees of malls, multiplexes, hotels, airlines, etc., are just sitting at home. Imagine their stress. Nevertheless, they have to grapple with the fear of losing their jobs. It goes without saying that the lockdown will continue even after March 31st, and when normalcy is restored, life will never be the same again. Therefore, as Mr. Umakanthan M has said, they are blessed to have a continuous cash flow.
Thanks,
