Embracing remote work: A boot camp for Local Government

About the boot camp

COVID-19 has fundamentally changed the way people work – especially in government. Even as lock down starts to lift, many offices still have some or all employees working from home, and it seems that some of the changes brought on by COVID-19 will have long-term impact.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with Apolitical to bring you this free online email-based boot camp about best practices for working remotely in local government. You’ll get insights about how to develop your remote working skills, tailored specifically for the challenges facing public servants in local government.

What you'll get

  • Four 20-minute lessons delivered via email each week, with articles and bite-sized activities
  • Tips and tricks on how to effectively work remotely, from productivity to well being
  • Articles, case studies, worksheets, hands-on challenges and more

How to register

*This boot camp is open to all members of UK Local Government. If you are not yet a member of Apolitical, you will be taken to a signup page that will automatically register you for the boot camp.
