Remote Working

Remote working has pros and cons. Did you know? One of the biggest challenges faced by remote employees is loneliness and feeling disconnected.

Here are a few things you can do to combat feelings of loneliness:

👋 Connect with someone once a week – plan and schedule time to connect with family, friends and colleagues

🌲 Get outdoors – nature can have a positive effect on mental and physical health

📅 Set a routine – a routine provides people with boundaries and expectations, allowing them to feel a sense of purpose

Learn a few tips to improve your mental health and more about loneliness and remote working: http://bit.ly/3TH93Ft
