Everything is changing, our wardrobe included.
Times are changing and work routines are evolving. Business casual is now the norm as we settle into our zoom meeting from home and a more blended work & home life is what we now strive for.

Work from home advice
Know the ground rules: Be clear about your working schedule, are you 9-5 or are you flexible? What technology is required ie. zoom or microsoft teams. It’s important that your employers makes it very clear whats required to ensure you have all the necessary equipment to work stress-free from home.
Have a designated work space: Not everyone will have access to a home office, but having a corner, or a table that is designated specifically for work will give you that extra bit of privacy and enable you to shift in to “work mode” when you enter that space – helping you switch off at the end of the day also as you leave that space.
Check your internet speed: With more of the family being at home for larger portions of the day it’s important to check the internet speed on your router and what you will need for your work day to avoid the panic when your files won’t upload or save
