Tales of the Unexpected: How distance brought us closer together

This year has been year that businesses have had to get much closer to their staff and have done so by being distant from them.

But it has also been a year where the slowdown in business and economic turmoil has meant many businesses have had to have difficult conversations and slimdown their headcounts.

It has been a year where looking after your talent and getting the best from it has never been more important.

In the last of EG’s Tales of the Unexpected podcasts, a series looking at the lessons learnt out of the forced changes we have all had to make during the coronavirus pandemic, EG editor Samantha McClary is joined by Kate Jansen, director of organisational development at Willmott Dixon, Chris Keates-Lewis, HR & operations partner at TFT, Robin Panrucker, senior talent development business partner at Taylor Wessing and Jennifer Howells, head of talent management at JLL, to talk about what we have learnt about our people and what our people have taught us about how to operate our businesses.
