Digital tools, check ins and altruism. Rose Minshall tells us what we can do to continue fostering community and connection while isolating and working from home.

And then suddenly, just like that, we had no choice. Digital meetings are no longer an unusual (and often unpleasant) trial, but for many of us homeworkers, the only way business happens.

Suzanne Shale discusses why we need to concentrate more on making our organisations civil places to work. It's about respecting one another, but so much more as well.

Ohio. Famous for picking US presidents (28 out of the last 30), and the birthplace of aviation (the Wright brothers grew up here in 1870s). Less famous for being home of a number of the most advanced healthcare networks in the world.
