Shaken Employee

While coming back to work post covid
the previously confident employee
has become a shaken employee
unsure, dreading his future

Studies show more people  are now working online
that their productivity has increased manifold

This may seem like a matter to rejoice
yet, some thought as to why this is happening
may unravel interesting reasons
requiring suitable compassionate action
from the employer, by HR 

Experts suggest the increased output
has more to do with insecurity
than enhanced love for the job
it is more about losing one's job abruptly
there are other concerns as well
like the disrupted education of children 

This is the time for reassurance
compassion, emotional support

Employers would do well
to provide counselling, ally fears
give reassurance, show the plan and way forward
have meditation time,  relaxation time at work

Seeds are to be sown now
for restoring shaken employee to his confident self
enable a bounce back, for taking bold
steady steps towards the glorious days
of a thriving  business and economy....
