It’s impossible not to consider the impact and effects of COVID upon our society. But we should also take time to reflect upon the positive ways in which this downtime has given us the opportunity to pause and observe.
This week, Colin reflects upon the ways in which the experience has affected him and his business personally.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Working remotely has become the norm, but it’s also allowed many businesses to streamline operations and channel their efficiency.
Remote operations will never completely take the place of face-to-face business, but it has demonstrated that a blend of remote work and on-site work, can be just as effective as operations pre-COVID.
If we can make sure that consistency and frequency are key foundations of our business, then we’ll be successful going forward.
BEST MOMENTS
’This has given people the opportunity to sit back and reflect’
’Work with more frequency and you’ll find that you’ll soon be making some big differences'
‘We’re now getting a blended approach to how we work'
