Abstract: Emotional intelligence is a unique intelligence that every employee should possess at each and every phase of their career. Self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills are the five essential building blocks of emotional intelligence. Significance of having high emotional quotient is often highlighted in many of the studies to an extent that it is often rated even above IQ. It is identified as one of the top ten essential job skills required for workers. Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected both personal life and professional life of people. During this uncertain period, most of the employees are adapting to new ways of work, with less social interactions. This further emphasizes the need for practicing emotional intelligence. Understanding and regulating one’s own and others’ emotional wellbeing are very essential during this challenging time.
