together: how to keep your team connected and performing


Historically, the suggestion of ‘remote working’, being ‘agile’, and ‘performance led’ in regard to work environments could easily have translated as a sure way to lose control of your business. It seemed too whacky, eccentric, mad and certainly not some- thing fitting of a business advisory and accountancy environment!


A global pandemic then enveloped the world


of work, and business owners across most sectors were forced to rethink this concept. Health Secretary Matt Hancock told the House of Commons that all unnecessary social contact should cease on March 16 and by March 23, Boris Johnson put us into lock- down. And so, the biggest global experiment into flexible working commenced. More than 22 weeks later, we’ve proved remote and agile working does in fact work, but, has this happened without consequence? Te answer’s No! Not all consequences will be realised immediately, but it’s already clear that engagement, communi- cation and wellbeing strategies will require serious thought for most UK businesses, in order to keep employees engaged and focused. Any people strategy has to be both suitable and


relevant to the business, but, if I can share just one idea that works for your business, then this will have been worth the read.
