Successful Remote Working during COVID-19 (FUTURE OF WORK #016 - Jodie Goulden & Susanne Conrad)

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, remote work became essential as a means of social distancing. The transition was sudden and dramatic, and it might change the way we work forever. In this episode, we discuss the practicalities of remote work. We define the perfect remote workday and share our experience on how long it takes to get used to working remotely. We dive into issues of trust, the feeling of losing control and power, about taking advantage of existing technologies as tools that support communication & collaboration.
