Adapting to a 'Post-Normal' World

In light of the current world events, it is important to start thinking about what you are doing to help equip
your people to adapt to a ‘Post Normal World’. This new ‘Normal’ way of living and working can be a highly
challenging, uneasy and anxious time for many. What are you doing within your organization to ensure your
people are prepared? Do you have an effective strategy in place? International Wellbeing Insights' ‘Adapting
to a Post-Normal World’ session focuses on how organizations can best adapt to the ‘Post Normal World’ to
enable their people to be best equipped and have the resilience to adjust to the new ‘Normal’. Resistance to
change creates stress and anxiety and your people are likely to go through the stages of ‘Grief’ as we are
adapting to the new ‘Normal’. Although individuals will experience grief differently, the stages they tend to go
through firstly include the overwhelming emotion of denial of what is going on. This is then followed by anger
and bargaining characterized by thinking ‘what if…’ and ‘if only…’. Following this is depression and the final
stage of acceptance. Ultimately, we want to focus on getting your people to the final stage where the new way
of working can actually be better and more productive for us. Ensuring your organization has an effective
strategy in place and that your people feel prepared for this new way of working and living is imperative for
your organization to thrive.
