In our current world of working from home, managing a team and keeping everyone engaged can be a challenge and this has been no different for the team at Secret Paradise.
Like many employees working in the tourism industry, a
normal day at the office for Secret Paradise guide team would be providing
memorable guest experiences. This lack of social interaction together with the
fact that they are no longer able to be out and about enjoying the natural
environment has meant that adjusting to working from home has not been an easy
task.
Earlier on, Secret Paradise realized that working from home
for the first time meant figuring out how to ensure the team stayed on task in
a new environment that may not lend itself to their productivity. But they have
discovered the following ways to deliver results and avoid going stir-crazy.
Secret Paradise Co-Founder, Ruth Franklin stated that "communication
and positivity has been key to keeping the team spirit alive."
Tour Leader Kokko Ibbe stated, "It is definitely hard not
seeing colleagues personally and catching up over coffee. I miss being able to
just jump into the ocean or share island life. Working from home is a new
experience for us all and yes it has been challenging. But with the support of
colleagues and with inspiring leadership we will come through this and we will
all have learnt something from it."
