Challenge : 

 I am an administrative and human development professional in my organization . The challenge is to   maintain the wellbeing of our employees while they work from home . 

 Due to COVID 19 situation , we all are working from home . The work pressure has increased due to this   new style of working .   It ’s getting difficult for employees to adapt to a new work style as they ’re used to   a high level of interaction with their team every day . A typical working day involves a busy office   atmosphere , calling clients or attending meetings , the new working from home has taken its toll on   employee ’s mental health and wellbeing as this drastic change can cause a feeling of isolation . 

 Selection 

 We would like to use learning launch tool to solve the above challenge of maintaining the wellbeing of   employees while they work from home . A learning launch is a learning experiment conducted quickly   and inexpensively to gather real data . A learning launch is not a failure so long as we learn something   hence , we decided to use this tool and initiate few ideas as jumping from a public work environment to   the confined space of own home can affect everyone . 

 Application & Insights : 

 It ’s really important to look at ways to make sure office employees are still happy , productive and   motivated under the circumstances . 

 We decided to start initiates with one of the small team / spaces before implementing to broader office . 

 For Our first learning launch , we suggested the following to the team : 

 Keep in contact : 

 A daily , every other day or weekly phone calls or even video calls . The idea is that teams can continually   assess workflow , set new tasks and check on team ’s employee ’s wellbeing . Working from home might   be causing unforeseen issues for an employee , so it ’s important to get feedback where we can . 

 Insights of this application : 

 It opened the opportunity to discuss topics that were n’t work - related – catching up on plans for the   weekend , asking after their family , discussing the news etc . You ’d usually have these types of   conversations in passing , over lunch or in brief meetings so it ’s important to maintain this level of   socializing where we can . 

 For our second learning launch , we suggested the following to the team : 

 Promote a healthy work - life balance : 

 While we may worry that some team members may take working from home as an opportunity to take   it a little easier , in reality , many will feel pressure to work harder , or longer hours , in order to prove they   are n’t . 

 Insights of this application :   As an employer , we need to balance keeping productivity up alongside encouraging people to keep   taking breaks . When working from home it can be very easy to feel tempted to stay at your laptop   throughout lunch or extend the end of the day by a few hours .    Be sure to encourage , team to work their contracted hours and do n’t stretch their working day into   home life simply because they ’re working from home . As with everything , balance is key . 

 For our third learning launch , we suggested the following to the team : 

 Schedule regular team meetings :   We live in a more connected world than ever , so when it comes to keeping the whole team connected ,   technology is truly on our side . We suggested to keep team meetings and catch - ups scheduled in diaries   using zoom , Skype or GoToMeeting . 

 Insights of this application : 

 This has a twofold effect : first it remained the consistency of the normal working week , and that ’s going   to make keeping the business running easier than if regular meetings suddenly dropped out of the diary .   Secondly , it helped to replicate the ‘ buzz ’ of the normal work environment , helping people connect and   socialize . 

 For our forth learning launch , we suggested the following to the team : 

 Provide mental health training and resources : 

 It ’s important that employees know that we , organization support them so by communicating this to   them can really benefit their wellbeing . Our Employee Assistance Programme , created in collaboration   with BUPA , gave employees unlimited access to phone support from qualified counsellors so they could   discuss anything they need to . 

 Insights from this application : 

 Practical advice such as money management , landlord disputes , divorce and parenting were also   available . And there ’s also trained counsellors on hand to provide fully confidential advice on mental   health and wellbeing , providing the perfect way to access help from qualified professionals while staying   at home , based on the huge changes to our working lives that COVID-19 presents us all . 

 Approach : 

 Given that our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools and are at this   stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the appropriate tool amidst the situation of COVID 19 to   solve this challenge . our team needs to review the insight gained from our first four launches and   incorporate this insight into future launch designs . We conducted pulse check survey and received good   response from this team . The Managers and leaders of the team were also happy with employee ’s   performance as it translated into the overall good work performance . After the successful launch of this   initiate in small space , we will make sure that future launch designs should reflect insight gained ,   progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full rollout at organizational level .
