A fellow friend and champion for entrepreneurs (you know who you are\u2026) recently asked me \u201cWhat would be one skill you would look for in future employees post COVID-19?\u201d It really got me thinking about our current Nepal Communitere team and what I was seeing unfold through this past couple of weeks of being on lockdown and working remotely. I struggled to come up with ONE skill – and since I love clusters of three – I replied with three key qualities that I was already seeing among our stellar team: Empathy, Flexibility and Adaptiveness.

On day one we immediately launched into group video check-ins. I spent my whole Monday figuring out the best way to make sure we can all connect easily. It was a priority and extremely important for us to connect. We made sure we were all ok, to ease each other\u2019s anxiety, to listen, laugh and support one another. Empathy was key. We created a safe place for team members to express if they are feeling demotivated, anxious, or even enjoying the time at home, time to cook, eat and be with family. We recognize the wide myriad of emotions and experiences we\u2019re all having and accept one another without judgement. We knew we were there to support one another.
