Highlights
None of us were prepared for the way we found ourselves in this new age of work
Apart from the physical threat to humanity that Covid-19 caused, the size and scope of the economic crisis it caused are the largest we have ever seen in our lifetime (Krugell, 2020)
Certain jobs became redundant or businesses closed that could not cope with switching to a virtual world
Summary
None of us were prepared for the way we found ourselves in this new age of work. Coronavirus disease-2019 (Covid-19) brought many changes and adjustments to life in general, as well as in the workplace. In this article, I will focus on industrial psychologists being the practitioners in the workplace who are supposed to support and facilitate meaning to employees during Covid-19, employing a crisis management role. As psychologists, we should be able to identify distressed employees and implement interventions, such as crisis counselling and workplace counselling, to support these individuals (HPCSA, 2019b).
