Whilst there are multiple unknowns as to what COVID-19 will bring in the coming weeks, from a health to an economical perspective – we are acutely aware that Cornwall still needs to keep business running as effectively as possible. Therefore on Tuesday 31st March between 9 – 11am, we will be facilitating a special interactive webinar to explore and discuss the practicalities of managing and working with your team remotely.
When quick reactions and a splash of lateral thinking is needed as a result the rapidly increasing pandemic that has our world in its grasp – implementing effective ways to allow your team to work remotely has never been more important.
On 31st March digital specialist and founder of Cosmic UK Kate Doodson, will be guiding us through the practicalities of remote working, focusing on 3 key factors; people, process and the tech that underpins it all.
Back for an online version of our InFocus Business Espresso to explore the implications (and massive benefits!) of adapting your workplace, recruitment and teams, Kate will discuss ways of keeping overheads under control and motivating a remote workforce.
The 2 hour remote event will include Kate’s top tips on how to encourage staff to communicate their planned actions, top tips to run a successful video conference, maintaining professional standards, being productive and suggestions for the most accessible technology to support these changes and more.
