Hi all,
After the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a lot of transformation, such as hybrid working culture, flexible working, and remote working. With all these changes, handling and connecting with people on a regular basis has become a challenge for HR professionals. In this context, may I get some ideas on how to constantly connect with people?
Thank you.

Dear Parvathi,
Yes, in the last 2.5 years, personal contact has reduced. However, the purpose of staying connected is important. If the personal contact is purposive, if it reduces mental tension, or if it is perceived that it can derive value, people will meet anyway. Therefore, rather than connecting with people for the sake of it, identify a cause where a personal meeting is necessary.
Whether the working professionals or students, the COVID-19 pandemic has made them slothful. The purpose of a personal meeting should be convincing enough so that they are ready to shed their slothfulness. However, changing this newly developed habit is a big challenge!
Thanks,

Recently, I conducted two training programs - one for the leaders of an Exhibition Centre, the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre, who are deputy directors. Due to the pandemic, there were no events, fairs, and exhibitions. The brief given to me was to motivate the leaders on the topic of Leadership Motivation - Rewire and Reignite the spark within. The program was well-received, and feedback was positive on how they should pick up the thread and move forward as the economy is gradually opening up, albeit with the fear of another wave.
The other program was a Team Re-building program where I worked with individuals from different teams who had started working in a hybrid model. For nearly two years, apart from occasional or rare meetings, interactions were through phone or Zoom calls. My team rebuilding training brought people closer than ever in the past two years. Team Rebuilding is an activity we should consider; otherwise, the gap will remain wide or widen as time passes.
