PROFESSOR’S GUIDANCE:
How Will You Support Your Staff During What May Be a Very Lonely Holiday Season?
  
By Lin   Grensing-PophalDecember 2, 2020
    
In mid-November, shortly before Thanksgiving and as COVID-19 cases surged around the country, governors extended or ramped up their safety requirements. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, for instance, ordered indoor fitness centers and dining to be closed. And he ordered residents not to hold gatherings with people from other households. The message: Celebrate Thanksgiving, but only with those you normally live with. That sentiment is likely to extend around the country throughout the holiday season.
These restrictions will certainly keep employees from enjoying the holiday season with friends and relatives as they typically would.  It’s one more disappointment in a year full of stress and change.
Employees Facing Stress Like Never Before
Employees who have been dealing with the impacts of COVID-19 since March are feeling the strain. A report from employee experience software company Limeade, Workplaces in Crisis: Employee Care Missing the Mark, was released in October. Based on input from 1,000 full-time US employees, the report authors found:
49 percent report having less      energy for nonwork activities.
42 percent said they were less      interested in socializing with friends.
42 percent were having trouble      sleeping.
33 percent reported using more      alcohol or other substances than usual.
“2020 was not the year we expected,” said Meghan Stokes, vice president of clinical services at BHS, an employee assistance program and well-being provider headquartered in Baltimore. “We’ve used up all of our surge capacity. That’s what we rely on to get through crisis. When that’s drawn out and there are more stressors, it’s never replenished. We are exhausted.”
These feelings are likely to be exacerbated over the holiday season. But there are steps that companies can take to support staff as the virus continues to rage and the holiday season is upon us.
Be Proactive in Offering Support
“The inability to celebrate holidays as usual is just one more unusual stressor in a year fraught with uncertainty,” said Tyler Arvig, a doctor of psychology and associate medical director at R3 Continuum, a behavioral health and security services company with offices in Minneapolis and Grand Rapids, Mich. “Holiday gatherings typically serve as important anchors for families and may be one of the few times where families are able to be together during the year. It is a time of togetherness. Except for this year, when it won’t be. It will be a time of isolation. That, for many, will be very devastating.”
