CSR Accreditation has gathered some great advice and experiences from local businesses and organisations on how to communicate with your team at a distance, the kind of technology that works for them, and how to support employees’ health and wellbeing, plus other great tips and advice.
The last few months have been a learning curve like no other for business owners, but the learning never stops when you run a business.
Although some businesses are getting back to some semblance of normality, for many, staff are still working from home in varying degrees of isolation, requiring as much support now as they did three months ago. And of course, even if on the surface some business operations begin to look 'as usual', the actual effects of lockdown on business, consumer confidence and employee welfare are likely to be felt for some time to come.
To help business owners at this time, CSR Accreditation has gathered some great advice and experiences from local businesses and organisations on some key topics:
