Trusted source material for people working from home during Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic

  • View Larger Image trusted support for #workingfromhome during #Coronavirus Covid-19

Latest free Covid-19 support resource added 1 May 2020 from Minds@Work

Rock-Solid resources for people new to working from home on a continuous basis, because, now, more than ever, we need to pay attention to what we pay attention to.

I hope these resources will be useful to you or your family, friends and colleagues who might find themselves working from home for the first time.

There’s a lot of well-meaning Covid-19 support and suggestions hitting your inbox and your social media channels right now. This creates noise and confusion.  You won’t get that here.

You will only see primary source suggestions here. I will add to this listing as and when new trusted sources of information are available. You and I have friends and colleagues who create and share great, generous advice and this is not competing with their offerings.

This free service was announced and added 1 May 2020;

By the way, since 2017 over 60% of my Working Smarter training programmes have been delivered remotely by me using Webex, GoToWebinar, Zoom and Microsoft Teams, so you will be in good hands!
