186 — Coping with Corona: Working from home and remote meetings

In the past few weeks, the rapid spread of Covid-19 has made 'self-isolation' an everyday term. 'Working from home' has stopped being a perk, and become a necessity (for those of us fortunate enough to be able to do so).

But how do you adjust to working in isolation and communicating via remote meetings? On this week's episode of The Good Practice Podcast, Ross D is joined by Owen, Ross G and Emerald Workser Craig Dutton to share their advice for coping with coronavirus. We discuss:

• our strategies for productive home working
• making the most of technology
• overcoming organisational hurdles to built trust and rapport quickly online.
