Editor’s note: Thank you to Jo Cook for sharing this research. It’s useful to see how organisations are using webinars and how they could improve. The research suggests that organisations could improve audience engagement – that’s an opportunity not to be missed.

Editor’s note: A survey of 958 company directors shows that three-quarters would be keeping increased home-working after the Covid-19 pandemic and more than half intended to cut the use of workplaces in the future. This is yet more evidence of the way work is changing and will continue to change.

Editor’s note: I liked the comments from retailer Next about the downsides of working from home. In particular, “large video calls have encouraged the proliferation of one of the business world’s most damaging practices – death by deck.” The article goes on to say that “slideshow presentations transform meetings from productive exchanges of ideas into boring, one-way lectures.”

Editor’s note: There’s a lot of talk about the ‘new normal’ and (working) life after lockdown. What this will look like is still unclear but organisations will need to keep planning and setting goals for now and into the future. And L&D will need to be aligned with these plans. So what will those plans look like? This article provides some scenarios based on research of organisations’ response to the pandemic. Useful background info when talking strategy with stakeholders.

Editor’s note: The CIPD has produced a webinar series exploring many aspects of the impact of Covid-19 on work. This webinar looks at how L&D is changing as a result of the pandemic. It is worth noting how PwC used data to monitor the demand for resources and how they used those insights to constantly update their resources in a relevant and timely way.

Editor’s note: Longitudinal research into the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on mental health shows that, despite the easing of lockdown restrictions, millions of British adults continue to struggle with their mental health. This is a critical consideration as employees start to return to work.
