Webinar details:

Amidst the widespread COVID-19 outbreak, companies are adopting work-from-home (WFH) policies as part of precautionary, social distancing measures. As a result, meetings have shifted online, which raises questions as to how employees can continue to function effectively when working in isolation.

Humans are social creatures and as such, face-to-face interactions will always have a greater impact as compared to a virtual interaction. However, in the backdrop of the current climate, virtual interaction is no longer a choice but a social responsibility and necessity. Let us guide you through the process of coping with loneliness and how you can continue to contribute as a value-adding team member while sitting behind a screen.
