As teams transition to a new virtual environment, you—or members of your unit—may experience difficulty or resistance.
If you perceive resistance from members of your unit, ask yourself if it is a function of:
• Insufficient tools/resources, e.g., a lack of furniture or equipment for remote work
• Discomfort with technology
• Situational/personal factors, such as decreased motivation or feeling overwhelmed
• External factors (personal circumstances of the individual)
If a proposed change gives you pause, consider whether it is related to:
• An institutional policy (e.g., approval for furniture or equipment for remote work; budgetary limitations regarding reimbursement; IRB protocols; HIPAA regulations)
• An objective concern related to performance
• Your personal preference, which might be reconsidered
