WSJ Your Money Briefing · How the Pandemic Could Change the Workplace Beyond 2020 · 28 Dec 2020 podcast

I always thought that to really manage people the right way, you need to know what's going on in their life because health and wellness and family and marriage and divorce and children and parents, that leads to how your brain is functioning to be able to contribute at work. voice-verified

And the best managers know that. voice-verified

Now what's happened is being alone in a house or an apartment, working and living in the same space all day, every day, there are a lot of other issues as we've seen through the news media and social media. voice-verified

And I think that the best companies I've seen have taken that into account and worked really hard. voice-verified

And I think the best thing a company can do, if they can afford it, is to make sure that their insurance is working and providing telemedicine and therapy and mental health voice-verified

you know, social work and psychiatrist stuff for their employees. voice-verified

It's crucial. voice-verified

It's being a great athlete during the regular season and then being a great athlete in the playoffs. voice-verified

And why is there a difference? voice-verified

Loser can go home. voice-verified

And that's what we've been dealing with is managing people when there is huge trauma emotionally outside of their job. voice-verified

then with the economic problems of April, May, and June of managing people when business may not have been as good, and then trying to communicate to your boss and manage up during this crazy time, and then throwing in the social and racial inequality issues we dealt with over the summer that still exist, they're just not in the forefront of the news media, is... voice-verified

really a challenging role. voice-verified

And the question is every manager should be asking is what have I done outside of my job to get better? voice-verified

What books have I read? voice-verified
