'Rona - Covid19 & Me #CoronaVirus - Remote Work
Remote Work: "So although it's always preferable to establish clear remote work policies and training in advance in times of crises or other rapidly changing circumstances; this level of preparation may not be feasible. And, recent developments have left many employees and their managers working out of the office and separated from each other for the very first time. Fortunately, there are specific research-based steps that managers can take without great effort to improve the engagement and productivity of remote employees; even when there's little time to prepare." Kimberly Ofor (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberlyofori/)i, ScaleUp Consultant (http://kimberlyofori.com/). March-April 2020 started with national lockdowns from Asia, Europe, Americas to the African continent thanks to CoronaVirus or Covid-19, with global health structures struggling to cope and the disruption of travel, transportation, and hospitality industries while plummeting economies across the world into recession. Podcast host E.A. Gamor (https://linktr.ee/eagamor) explores health, education, and logistics ecosystems that are fraying in the light of the pandemic with six suggested ways-to-improve after the virus is cured and its global effects managed; he speaks with young citizens from Bahrain, United States, Chile, Nigeria, Jamaica, Botswana, South Africa, and Ethiopia and caps the episode off with remote work (https://medium.com/@eagamor/small-medium-sized-businesses-and-organizational-support-remote-working-session-cc5598330331) best practices - what teams and organization members can do - during the outbreak that has over a quarter of the world's population "social distancing" and being mandated to stay at home. -- To rate this podcast, please give us a 5-star rating at: www.ratethispodcast.com/unpackingafrica (https://ratethispodcast.com/unpackingafrica) www.4irAfrica.co | @4irAfrica_
