Not just individuals but businesses stepping up to support their workers or benefit local charities to help those in need. Some days it’s been so inspiring seeing the best of humanity on the news or on social media. My Instagram feed is full of these feel good accounts. However it’s disturbing to also read and hear about the not so nice effect of the pandemic on some. Not everyone has felt the need to carry on with the Be Kind campaign which was everywhere just before lockdown. In the workplace Covid seems to have brought out the worst in some bosses and intensified poor leadership that was already there. Manipulative and passive-aggressive behaviours have got worse in many instances where the pressures of managing a workforce through the pandemic has been challenging to say the least. ACAS report that their coronavirus web advice portal has seen 3.6 million visitors and the ACAS helpline experienced a three-fold increase in calls. Their dispute resolution service also saw higher demand. It seems that there’s a lot of unhappy people out there. The challenges of working from home have included not only isolation and anxiety in many but also stress in the form of surveillance 24/7. According to a Gallup survey less than half (45%) felt strongly that their employer cares about their wellbeing. Add to that an employer arrogance that people who ‘need’ their jobs will just have to put up with it and it’s a recipe for stressful workplace relations. What to do? Maintain your own values – just because your boss is behaving badly doesn’t mean you have to reciprocate. Respectfully confront your manager – challenge the behaviour. As the economy begins to reopen and recover bad managers will inevitably be exposed as employees choose to find themselves a better boss. The ACAS helpline is available to anyone who has a workplace query on 0300 123 1100. 36 Please mention ngmagazines when responding to adverts
