MANAGEMENT<br />
BRING JOY TO THE WORKPLACE<br />
WHEN YOUR TEAM IS JUST<br />
TIRED OF IT ALL<br />
Your team is probably tired and stressed after<br />
months of living with uncertainty, and fear. Try<br />
these tips to bring joy to the workplace into, and<br />
beyond, the holiday season.<br />
We have been living with the global<br />
COVID-19 pandemic for about eight<br />
months (at time of writing). It’s a difficult<br />
and tiring situation for spa and hospitality<br />
employees. The industry has been through<br />
layoffs and massive budget cuts, and for<br />
those who are still working, the day to<br />
day can be a lot to deal with. Employees<br />
are working with enhanced cleaning and<br />
safety protocols, and under the stress of<br />
getting everything right in order to keep<br />
both themselves and guests (with whom<br />
they may be in close contact) safe. All<br />
while wearing PPE and, more likely than<br />
not, talking about and hearing about the<br />
pandemic all the time with both co-workers<br />
and guests.<br />
As a result, people are tired, fed up, and<br />
frightened as we head into the holiday<br />
season this year. Your team members<br />
are probably exhausted; tired of the<br />
pandemic, tired of the fear, and just plain<br />
tired. What can you do to bring some<br />
joy back to the workplace in what is<br />
traditionally a time of cheer, and into next<br />
year, without breaking the bank? Here are<br />
several strategies and ideas.<br />
