As project people, we’re hard-wired to try and bring order from chaos but even this is something that we’re struggling to manage – there’s just so much uncertainty. In this week, many project practitioners are adjusting to working from home – some for the first time, others that have only ever worked at home on a Friday. It’s not been long yet, just a few days, but if this is the new normal in [...]

Like most other organisations Arras People are adapting to the new world brought about by the reaction to coronavirus. Naturally the health of our fellow citizens is at the top of the list of concerns at this moment in time and nearer to home we are dealing with self-isolations for a variety of reasons, whilst some of the team (for the time being?) remain in the office.

What’s the best way to promote my knowledge and career brand without alienating my organization and team members?

The change means that the trigger for the rules will move from PAYMENTS made from 6th April 2020 to SERVICES DELIVERED from 6th April 2020, a decision that has been met with a mixed response. Leaders and Laggards Depending upon how an organisation has set itself up to address the impending changes we will have a new set of winners and losers due to this change.
