Let's Keeping Britain Working

I know you will be concerned about how you'll maintain levels of customer service and employee performance..….but we've gotta 'Keep Britain Working' through this virus!

There's a shed load of self styled Gurus posting reams of stuff on Linked In right now about how to best work from home. But you know, the best advice we can give you, from our 20 years of implementing all forms of Smart Working, including remote working - is you have to learn to trust your people.

It might help to focus you mind on goals first though:

• Decide the priorities for your business for the next 4 weeks when they say the virus peaks.
• Decide what steps you need to put in place so that Employees are able to communicate virtually with Clients
• What business performance would you expect to see? Think realistically given the lack of mobility your people will have and the shock this virus is having on the business world.
• Sort out short term priorities, but also work out which long-term projects can be shelved for a while and which need to keep moving forward
• Clarify what is and what isn’t a priority with your people
• Your going to have to run with the work from home thing - so take a leap of faith - run virtual training sessions with your people to equip them with the right skills to do a great job during this tricky time. This is crucial for building 2 way trust.

Once you've carried out the virtual training, carry the momentum on by running virtual collaboration sessions a few times a week - or if they motivate people - once a day!

And back to the all important trust....
