Talk and connect
You may not have interacted with your work colleagues for a few months , check in with them , see how they are doing , reconnect , its positive and worthwhile, remember they are going through their own version of what you are going through. You DON’T need to talk about work on the first phone call, just support each other with a friendly caring call, it makes a difference. There is an old but very true saying. “People don’t care how much you know unless they know how much you care”
Preparation is Key
At some point YOU will need to speak with your line manager and it’s important to ask them how they see things changing in the workplace to start emotionally getting your head in the correct vibe for return. Have their expectations of you changed because of the pandemic?
· What about your journey to work do you car share or get public transport how will you get to work?
· Will anything be different as you enter the building? What about the going to the toilet , your lunchbreak?
· Will all the staff return? Are you needed to work a full week, or can you work some of the time remotely?
