Does the confinement have any impact on the team members you manage?
- At the level of productivity
- In the field of interpersonal relations and communication
- The existence of conflicts and the way they are managed

In my case, I don't have any dedicated project teams. They all have a full-time job and integrate the project work - as it applies to their area of the business - into their existing schedules.
Since we've all started working from home, I'm having trouble with changing business priorities and lacking communication from my team. Folks are getting frustrated and projects aren't progressing.
Is anyone else experiencing anything the same? Any pointers for getting things back on track, or at least heading the right direction?
Thank you.
Dear Jill
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion

I am convinced that the most important thing is to reestablish communication

Do all members of your team have access to the internet? And Computers?
You can use Teams (for free), Zoom (for free), Skype or WhatsApp as communication tools

Dear Jill,

I would contact their functional managers and see what there present commitments and availability is at the present time.

I would very surprised if they are all working a full day around their current jobs' roles and responsibilities.

Nobody wants to be seen as slacking off outside the office so a bit of an indirect scare tactic might get them focused and realigned to your project objectives.

It is also in the interest of the functional managers to ensure that each employee 'has enough to do' so that senior managers are not seen to be wasting company money by paying workers who are only working a half day.
