A Human Touch
Steve Buss 19th Jun 2020
Recently, I’ve read a few accounts concerning frustrations around receiving ‘automated responses’, in particular rejection emails for jobs applied for.
In these unprecedented times, many people who are not so lucky to be working deserve a dignified response with a human feel. Rejection is painful enough, so let’s not under-estimate the impact this can have on morale.
That said, we also have to appreciate that, given the volume of applications for some companies, it’s not always possible to give personalised feedback. However, we could do well to find a balance and where possible promote a mindful and individual approach.
Right now, it’s a complex picture out there, notwithstanding the uncertainty concerning how and when markets will recover.
A little empathy goes a long way, as does a personal human touch!
