- Date
- Friday, 14 August 2020
- Time
- 11:00 – 12:00
What participants can expect
Finding a happy medium between work and life has always been more than a balancing act. Enter 2020, with COVID-19 and the preventative health measures in place, you’ll find most of us have been required to adapt (rather quickly) to not only new ways of living, but also new ways of working.
What does this mean for women in this new workplace? How do you cope with working remotely, possibly from home—having to juggle deliverables, life, family responsibilities? We all know someone infected or affected, and as infection rate statistics keep rising, it’s coming closer to home. How do you prepare yourself?
