Communicating with weary workers amid election aftermath

There’s no question that 2020 has been a year unlike any other.

From the enduring impact of COVID-19 and the ongoing reckoning with systemic racism, to the relentless vitriolic and divisive political discourse, this year feels like a bad dream that’s impossible to wake up from.

We’re also facing fallout from the most important election in our lifetime, one that galvanized at least 84 million people to vote early nationwide – and that may mean a longer wait before we know who the next U.S. president will be. With all this instability and uncertainty, it’s understandable that 2020 has left many of us depleted, despondent and looking for ways to process and cope.
