Work-life balance during a Crisis, a guide for travel advisors
One of the biggest challenges when going through a global crisis is to maintain a work and life balance. With the recent Covid-19 travel advisors have been forced to quarantine at home, where the lines between work and family are more blurred. What can travel agents do to deal with family and work duties at the same time?
Before starting a new life under quarantine or other special situation, there are few things you can start thinking to make easier your life taking into account the importance of work-life balance for travel agents:
Let the fewer things possible to improvisation. It’s really important to have a list of tasks and responsibilities necessary to take care of children and/or home. If you have a couple, try to define a daily routine, share shifts and, very important, write it out. Talk to your kids’ teachers about accessing learning materials remotely.
Create an ergonomic corner for you to get focused working hours. Avoid using your kitchen table or other family spaces for work stuff.
For both family and colleagues: even with the most precise plan, things can’t be totally under control. If you have kids, let your colleagues know that they could show up during a conference call. In the case of a pandemic or any other critical situation, try to talk openly about it with your kids to mitigate anxiety and uncertainty.
During a global crisis, It seems impossible to separate the job from family and leisure time. Your family needs you more than ever and so do your work. There is not a magic solution to get a balance and be effective on both sides, but it’s worth having a plan involving allies, resources and, the most important thing, honesty with your family and your colleagues.
