Create a Place for Your People to Connect

Recognition is More Important than Ever

In times of uncertainty, recognize frequently.

Recognize for ordinary, routine activities because,

let’s face it, in the midst of this crisis nothing is

“routine.” Employees are juggling work and home

life which may include caring for children, home

schooling, caring for parents or helping neighbors.

Inspirus Connects allows your people to recognize

each other from a simple thank you to life events and

company core values. Create a sense of belonging

and strengthen the social ties between employees

by increasing these important interactions.

Re-create the Breakroom Interactions

As a majority of employees are adjusting to working

in a virtual environment, many may miss their normal

office routines such as getting coffee or a snack

from the break room. They may also be struggling

to find alternate ways to connect with colleagues.

Inspirus Connects enables administrators to create

public spaces to encourage information sharing and

socialization, and foster connections among everyone

within the organization. One way to encourage

participation is to have fun by posting a daily

question, such as “What is your most memorable

vacation and why?”

Let the Distancing be Only Physical

Working remotely does not mean that social

interactions and camaraderie between employees

will cease to exist. The dynamics may have changed,

but it is important to strengthen the commitment that

all employees feel and that they continue to be part

of a close group, in which they can support and

lean on, especially in difficult situations. The sense

of belonging that social interactions with coworkers

provide are essential to keeping your people

engaged and motivated.

It’s more important than ever to foster initiatives

that strengthen the bonds and social ties between

employees. It’s important to allow employees to

express themselves, laugh and share experiences

to strengthen the sense of belonging and commitment.

Provide a Ways to Stay Connected

One of the most valued things in times of crisis

is real-time, consistent contact with your team,

co-workers and leaders. Keep employees informed

on the latest business initiatives and efforts, share

relevant news, celebrate and encourage people.

Knowing where to go to find the right information is

key. Use Inspirus Connects to share information that

will have employees feeling informed about what the

organization is doing and how they can contribute

and respond to continue business activities.
