During the pandemic, there has been a huge focus on the “mechanical aspects” of staying connected such as technology.
With that being the case, Thomas-Berry said that it can sometimes be easy to forget about the little gestures “that can spark the emotional aspect of connections”.
And it seems from the reaction on social media, this initiative has gone down well with employees.
“Our goal was simple – drop a little something into their daily lives to say thanks and bring a simple to their faces,” Thomas-Berry added.
Whatever the initiative may be, small gestures like this will likely go a long way in promoting company cultures when not all colleagues are able to be together in a central workspace.
Reminding staff that, even though they aren’t in a physical workspace with colleagues, they are still an important part of an organisation is key.

Joining EU Automation newly as Head of People in January I had to quickly establish how I could keep our global teams enagened with what we had... Like many others within 24 hours our business went from 100% in the office to 100% WFH, we have done some amazing things on Workplace through video and photos I would be happy to share some of the great things we have done.. Last week continued with' EU Automations Top Dog' (you can imagine the engagement levels from this!)
Thank you

Perhaps face masks with the Chinese flag printed on them would have been better?
