About the Webinar
For a large number of Canadians, working from home is the new reality, at least for the time being. Now that work-life boundaries have been blurred, how do we remain productive, avoid burnout –– and even thrive –– in the remote workspace? Gagandeep Bimbh, Kaysey Davis and Fiona Heyman, three savvy communications professionals and graduates of the PWC program, offer pro-tips on structuring your workday, recovering from tech glitches and online networking and collaboration. This expert panel will give you advice on how to maximize the potential that working from home can offer.
