THE LOOP
Working Apart – Growing Together Jim Little
Improvement Advisor
Care Quality Commission
I saw this phrase in another blog referring to a HR Conference being held soon. I immediately thought that we all need to work on growing together whilst we live and work remotely. Then I came to the crux of the matter, how on earth do we do it? I believe that there are a number of ways that we can grow together, many of us have been doing this during the pandemic. At the beginning I introduced an afternoon chat ‘Tea@3’. After a period of time people moved on to other things. I met up on calls with others in the first lockdown, on a Friday some of us celebrated the end of the week with a beer or a wine. I now go on to a call with some non-work friends for a quiz, chat and a few drinks on a Friday evening. My sister, who lives in Australia and I have a Sunday evening (Monday morning for her) Alexa video call every week. We talk more now than we ever did before the pandemic.
