Relationship with stakeholders: what are the consequences of social isolation?
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2025 6:20 am
In its second year, the novel coronavirus pandemic has caused irreparable damage to countries around the world. In addition to the tragic loss of more than 3.3 million lives worldwide, Covid-19 has had a major impact on global economies. In Brazil, according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics ( IBGE ), the Brazilian Gross Domestic Product (GDP) fell by 4.1% in 2020. Some sectors of the economy, such as industry and services, saw record declines in the second quarter of last year, with -12.3% and -9.7%, respectively.
The data consolidates the period as one of the greatest health and humanitarian crises ever, with widespread effects. However, the impacts go beyond any expectations and can be felt, including in the day-to-day chile mobile database life of society and, especially, in work relationships. For the Institutional and Government Relations (RIG) professional who needs to engage and build relationships with stakeholders, the pandemic also represented an inestimable loss: face-to-face contact.
The need to mitigate the spread of the virus has led to a series of restrictive measures being imposed on a wide range of economic sectors. Social isolation, as a measure adopted to reduce the spread of Covid-19, has significantly changed the way people interact. As a result, the Relgov area was left with the challenge of reinventing itself to enable it to defend its interests.
Adapting to the crisis
Given the severity of the crisis caused by the new coronavirus, adaptation has emerged as one of the main elements to ensure damage containment while maintaining the functioning of economic and legislative activities. Proof of this was the change in the performance of parliamentarians themselves who, with the establishment of the Remote Deliberation System (SDR) in Congress, began to carry out their practices online.
With face-to-face contact interrupted, technological tools have become important allies. Especially since, on the one hand, Relgov's dialogue has been reduced due to a tighter and more competitive agenda for decision-makers, on the other hand, the volume of work has increased exponentially, especially in relation to monitoring the numerous publications.
