We wrapped up our #30DaysRemote experiment last week Friday. We officially started our remote working experience on Wednesday, 18th March 2020, beating most businesses to it before the official lockdown forced them into it.
It’s been an interesting experience which we have shared with you along the way. We spoke about the transition here. We also highlighted how to work productively, achieve effective work, what a remote business means and had our CEO, HR & Admin also share their lessons with you. Fortunately for us, we got some good press during this sharing period.
