Adapting to a remote working environment
Until recently, remote working was something many people associated with digital nomads, tech companies, or start-ups.
Fast forward to March 2020, where remote working has become the new normal for many of us who traditionally work in an office environment, and our daily traffic troubles have been replaced with creating a functional workspace, as well as (in some cases) juggling work and family life in the confines of the same four walls.
This section of the site contains resources to help you get to grips with remote working, from equipment, and tools to apps and advice.
