Remote Work Environment and Balance

COVID-19 forced an unprecedented shift of the global workforce from their offices to remote work environments. IACCM research indicates that as the transition occurred, an overwhelming majority of our members were properly equipped to get their jobs done at home. But the physical set-up was the tip of the iceberg. TASK's focus on Remote Work Environment & Balance now digs deeper to consider the broader issues that impact personal balance and professional commercial success from your home.

Innovation is clearly fundamental for any successful commercial and contracting practitioner. But we must accept that we are not all innovators; in most cases, the important point is that we encourage and welcome innovation, that we do not resist the benefits of change.

What about commercial inspiration? Where does that fit within the job role or personal characteristics of commercial professionals? The answer is that it has a massive role to play – never more so than in these testing times of worldwide uncertainty.
