Serving The Carolinas Since 1931 "If it's Metal "If it's Metal...We Buy It We Buy It...Top Price!" Top Price!" I read recently about a new type of bever- age known as relaxation drinks. Evidently they help you recover from the day's stress and the power you received from energy drinks. My wife came home from the grocery store one evening and showed me a bottle of dishwash- ing liquid. I read the label and it said, "Anti-Stress [dish- washing liquid] Aroma Therapy. Anti-Stress is enriched with the essence of Lavender for a soothing and relaxing scent." Now I had heard of candles, bath and massage oils, and incense for stress relief through aroma therapy, but dishwashing liquid? And a relaxation beverage? Just don't confuse the two and drink the dishwashing liquid, right? We all get stressed out at some time or other, don't we? Besides dishwashing liquid and drinks, try relaxing a little more into who you are each day—your core values, pri- orities, and unique contribution—as you Live Positive and make a life worth living.

GO TO: www.carolinaclassifi eds.com How businesses can stay connected while working remotely Many businesses have long allowed staff to work remotely. Whether employees work from home full- time, part-time or simply when the need arises, remote working has made balancing personal and profession- al responsibilities much easier for millions of people. But even businesses accustomed to remote workers faced challenges in the wake of the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. That outbreak forced many business- es to go fully remote in March, posing a unique set of challenges to business owners. One of the biggest challenges with going remote, especially doing so as suddenly as businesses were forced to because of COVID-19, is maintaining com- munication among staff members. Email and chat applications like Slack facilitate communication for remote staff, but business owners and managers can utilize a handful of additional strategies to ensure the lines of communication with staff remain open. • Set up daily calls. Daily conference calls with staff can be benefi cial for the company and improve mo- rale. Especially small businesses can do company- wide calls, while mid-sized to large businesses can schedule department-specifi c calls. These calls can ensure project deadlines are met, but also can serve as a stand-in for typical chit-chat that can make offi ce environments warm and inviting. Start each call off by asking how everyone is handling remote working and encourage employees to share funny anecdotes about social distancing before getting down to business. • Encourage employees to share their schedules. Some employees may fi nd remote working more chal- lenging than others. For example, employees with young children whose schools or daycares have been closed may need more fl exibility in regard to when they work. Managers must recognize that challenge and re- assure working parents that they recognize the diffi - cult position they're in. Fellow employees without such challenges also must make this recognition and afford coworkers a little extra time to get their work done, if necessary. While everyone should do their best to maintain a relatively normal schedule so deadlines can still be met, employees should be encouraged to com- municate when they can work and when they need to step away. Doing so keeps idle time to a minimum and allows managers to set realistic goals for remote staff. • Set up virtual lunch. Lunch can be a vital compo- nent of a strong business culture. Employees may bond over daily lunches together and may even hash out ideas for the company over sandwiches or slices of pizza together. Virtual lunches over an app like Zoom can be a great way to stay connected and continue to foster a strong company culture. Keeping staff connected while working remotely can be challenging. But there are various ways to maintain a strong offi ce culture even when the offi ce is techni- cally closed.
