Hi Partner,
One way is to communicate via emails and random calls to check with employees on how they feel in terms of security and mental health. Emergency contact details can be sent to them on a frequent basis, assuring company support always.
At a later stage, a series of questionnaires can be sent to employees via email regarding the challenges they face at work and in handling their personal lives at home, as home is now also their office space.
At my company, we have been interacting with employees on how they feel working from home. The main issue highlighted to us was the poor internet connectivity causing them to work extra hours to complete the same piece of work, which used to take less time at the office. Our technical team conducted some research and recommended the best service providers in each area. The company has tie-ups with them, and reimbursements for upgrading to certain packages of higher bandwidth have been offered. For employees in areas where no good service provider could be identified, their supervisors have been asked to plan for flexibility in their productivity targets.
