Making working from home work for you
To keep staff safe throughout the coronavirus outbreak, many advice firms will have encouraged colleagues to work from home. This situation is likely to persist for some time and presents several challenges – such as adapting to life away from the office and the increased security risks posed by remote working.
Drawing on our experience of home working – we have had over 8,000 employees working remotely across our global organisation over the course of the crisis – as well as recognised best practice, we’ve created a range of guides and checklists to help firms adjust to this new way of working.
