Our team started working from home last Tuesday and it's been quite the adjustment! Here are the ways we've kept our team spirit up during these uncertain times.
1) Slack video calls have kept us all close
It's an odd feeling when you can't pop your head around your monitor to ask a question. Jumping on Slack calls have helped us massively with keeping in touch.
2) Zoom is amazing for full agency updates and makes a great virtual pub
Whereas Slack has a limit of 15 people on a video call, Zoom allows us to get everyone in the room. We decided to all have a drink last Friday which was a great laugh and ended the week on a high!
3) The little things make all the difference
Whether this is your first experience of working from home or if you do it on the regular, we're sure we could all do with a little help to feel connected. Small things like waving at each other on Slack brings us all together and makes the day feel more like a day in the studio.
4) Recreating office life routines is essential
We all know how important those catch ups are when you first get to the office, seeing how everyone is over a cup of coffee. Well, through the wonders of modern technology, we're still managing to keep this going! When everyone has logged on (and hopefully got out of their PJs), our departments start the day with a video call to see how everyone's doing.
5) Gifs and a good sense of humour make life a little bit lighter
We're a pretty light hearted bunch and we started our Self-Isolation Slack channel to share random thoughts during the day along with our makeshift desk setups, brainteasers and of course our pets!
We hope there's something you can take away from our learnings and if you're doing something different, we'd love to hear it!
