At Social Pinpoint and Consultation Manager we are in a privileged position where being able to work remotely is a core part of our operations but, this is not the case for a lot of businesses.
With the ongoing public health situation, many employees have been encouraged to work from home, however, remote work may be new to a lot of people and can pose its own challenges.
We asked some of the team for their tips for working remotely...
Colin - CTO
Social Pinpoint/ Consultation Manager
"Working from home means you don't have to stick to 9-5. Use the time to embrace flexibility and take that walk at 2pm or your morning gym session at 10"
Ollie - Head of Operations
Social Pinpoint
"Avoid distractions! some people work better with background noise but, Netflix can be a slippery slope towards laying on the couch."
Nicholas - Customer Success

"Sticking to my normal routine as If I was going into the office"
Zoe - Head of Support & Product

"Get out of your PJs! It's tempting to stay cosy in pyjamas, but doesn't get you in the right headspace and could get awkward if you have to do a surprise screen-share."
Kurt - Customer Success

"Take the opportunity to try a new routine. Gym in the afternoon, get up at 5am to plan your day are just some ideas"

"Try going for a walk in the morning before you start work or lunch time! Getting out of the house for a short period of time does wonders for your energy levels whilst working from home."
