As we unfortunately see the spread of COVID-19 across countries, companies have started to be more cautious in order to take care of their employees and the rest of people who we are constantly in touch with.

Focusing on our sector, since last week, many agencies agreed on working from home. Thanks to the internet and the fact that most of our tasks are mainly digital, it’s been easy to come to the conclusion that working remotely is the best option to avoid contagion and respect social distance.

As some of us might already be used to work from home once a week or even work as a freelancer, for some companies getting used to this requires organization, as some believe that working from home can make the divide between work and leisure increasingly faint.

Agencies on the contrary, have always being “famous” for being flexible. Check below the methodologies they’ve adopted in order to make themselves available at all times, stay creative and make work more productive and efficient from home:

In line with government advice and to protect our #BIGTeam, we’ve temporarily closed our offices and implemented #workingfromhome across the business. All main phone lines have been redirected, so there'll be no drop in our availability #LifeatBIG https://t.co/QlkKrYRETx
