Current trends in home working.
Making the adjustment to home working – explaining the benefits (not everyone likes to work from home or remotely)
Practical considerations: having the space to work, H+S issues, getting organised, planning, dealing with distractions from family and friends, feeling lonely, missing out on office communications, gossip or social activities, missing out on contact with key stakeholders
Communications for home-workers: making sure you keep in contact. Best practice for home-workers using e-mails, telephones, conference calls, social-media possibilities (benefits and risks).
Scheduling for home-workers: making sure that meetings and appointments can still be attended.

Embedding
These follow up coaching sessions help support your colleagues to embed their learning during their skills transfer period. Applying new skills and changing behaviour takes effort and practice. After attending a training course many colleagues will find they need support through this transition. EQV can provide that support with follow up coaching sessions to help embed the learning.
Embedding coaching sessions can be delivered in 90 minute and half day durations. The facilitator will work with the group to capture feedback about challenges and how to overcome them ensuring success going forward.
Having a formal embedding coaching session will not only increase the success of the skills transfer period but helps create a platform of motivation, inclusivity and commitment within the group.
