      <image:caption>Err on the side of caution and increase meaningful staff check-ins. This will increase time commitment on your end bu this time commitment will become time investment for future conflict. Regular check-ins with individual employees and with the whole team creates connection among people. The greater the connection among people, the more likely they will be to not jump to conclusions and to assume the worst in one another. The greater the connection between workers and they will be more likely to help each other when one makes a mistake and reduce blaming and shaming of their fellow colleagues.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Workplace Resources - Post-pandemic Workplace Challenges &amp;amp; How to meet them - Suggestion</image:title>
      <image:caption>Consider creating a different version of an on-boarding where the ‘new’ employee to the office is shown everywhere and all their questions are answered. Consider having a special event to re-introduce your ‘pandemic-hires’ to their physical workplace and the rest of their colleagues. Senior team members or team-leads are critical in the welcoming process, and it can be worth highlighting the importance of their role in welcoming hires, and to express your appreciation for the part they play.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Workplace Resources - Post-pandemic Workplace Challenges &amp;amp; How to meet them - Suggestion</image:title>
      <image:caption>Consider ways that your workplace might be able to address this issue. For example, is it possible to provide food for the employees who have to come into the office? In addition, if those who work in the office are a small group of people in what used to be a large office, the office can feel quiet, ghostly and create a sense of loneliness for employees alone in a vast office space. Pay special attention to the workers who are isolated in their offices, especially for women as these spaces create a greater sense of unsafety for women. Recent research studies have identified that overwhelming number of women identify that remote work has improved gender equality for women at workplace because of the flexibility around child and elder care that falls disproportionately on the shoulders of women.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Conflict stories are multifaceted.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In our work we begin with the story and the humanity of the people of that story. We approach conflict with tried and tested methods that allow us all to understand each other, to be able to see and hear the other and make one another feel seen and heard. We provide concrete tools and effective strategies that move people forward from their conflict-laden stories towards a future defined by collaborative problem-solving.</image:caption>
