Owner and President of Gossett Marketing, a leading promotional marketing firm, Danette Gossett, acknowledges Mental Health Awareness month and the toll anxiety has taken and how more anxiety may be brewing as employees are being called back to work on site.

MIAMI, FL– May 10, 2021 – Danette Gossett, Founder of Gossett Marketing Communications, Inc., Co-Founder of Promotions Resource, LLC, and co-author of the best-selling book, Transform, recently posted a new article on her website entitled, “How To Coax Your Employees Out Of Their COVID Caves And Back To The Office,” in which Ms. Gossett states, “You’ll have to coax gently yet effectively.

As Gossett points out, “It’s no surprise that many people have anxiety about returning to the workplace.” She adds, “Reasons are as varied as individual personalities. While many people are getting vaccinated, many are not. Those with underlying health conditions are likely more anxious than those who don’t have known health concerns. Some people prefer the routines they’ve established working from home. And, let’s face it, some people simply are not as cautious as others.”

“As the country attempts to ease into a new, new normal,” Gossett writes, “some businesses are calling employees back to work. Yet some employees have gotten pretty cozy in their COVID caves and are reluctant to leave

Gossett acknowledges, “There is no doubt many people are suffering mental anguish. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and even as we attempt a cautious return to the workplace, it’s important to be aware of the mental toll the pandemic has taken.” She elaborates, “According to a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, “as of June 2020, nearly 41% of adults in the U.S. had reported struggles with mental health, while 31% reported symptoms of anxiety or depression and 26% reported trauma or a stressor-related disorder related to the pandemic.” https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/20/why-some-are-averse-to-return-to-normal-post-covid.html So,” Gossett states, “you’ll have to coax gently yet effectively.”

“Surprise, surprise,” says Gossett, “I have a few ideas!” She continues adding, “First and most importantly you want to communicate safety and cleanliness in the workplace. Whether employees will be spending a couple of days in the office each week or longer, it’s imperative that they feel safe regardless of who has been vaccinated and who hasn’t.”

“For starters,” she offers, “how about mask holders for computers so everyone can keep their mask handy.” Gossett goes on to add several more helpful ideas.
