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
