With restrictions easing, many people and businesses are expecting things to go back to the way things were before. However, this "new normal" will be very different to the "old normal". Working from home, for those organisations that can, will become part of business culture, and many businesses will struggle with the productivity of their team. Here are our tried and tested tips to help you and your team stay productive!
Read MoreYour home is now also your office, your kitchen table doubles as your desk and the lines separating work life and home life are starting to blur. Working from Home has meant that work and home life are now occurring in the same place and it can be hard to switch off. Even if we weren’t in the middle of lockdown protocols, working from home or working remotely can be tough on anyone who has made the transition. In this post, we outline some good practices to adopt to ensure that you can sustain this new way of working and not burn out from the extra stress and distractions.
