We’ve struggled this month to create a collection around remote work, so we’ve gone a bit “around the edges” - but it’s still all relevant to our audience. There is much content around hybrid work at the moment, and it tends to have more of a “how to” angle to it , so we often give it a miss. So, please send through anything you think we might add in future episodes. https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/contact-us   Coffee Break Articles 05.00 MINS The Pyramid Principle Via Sketchplanations  How Remote Workers Are Reshaping Corporate Travel Policies via Skift E-voice in the Digitalised Workplace.
