Remote working is nothing new, it has been around for a while although I feel it is become more and more acceptable as the norm in some companies. It is said that remote, flexible workers tend to be happier and more loyal employees. Working from home has been shown to lower stress, improve personal relationships, and provide time for hobbies and interests. It often allows employees to feel they have more autonomy over their workday, which can also increase their productivity. Learn why Trust Working is better for your business!Thank you for listeining to this podcast. We welcome any feedback.

Project Management continues to evolve, whilst the Project Management Office (PMO) has not. I have spent so long working across industries and organisations, who say they are evolving, but in fact they are doing many of the same things in different ways. The traditional PMO methods are rigid, inflexible and affecting delivery.We need to evolve the PMO, look beyond the service catalogues, reports, and processes, and see how the PMO evolves to add value into the future. In this podcast, I talk about the problem with PMO and why we need to rethink governance altogether.
