The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live and work. Any hopes we’d return to some semblance of normal by autumn have evaporated. We could be facing another six months or more of restrictions.

Our panel discusses how businesses can help their people keep calm and carry on. We consider how organisations can adapt their approach to recruitment and onboarding, drawing on our own experience at KPMG. We look at how companies are motivating their people and supporting their health and wellbeing. And we take the view of one of our apprentices on what it’s like to work in a remote team, and the critical role of technology in the virtual office.

The line-up:

Mel Newton – Partner, People Consulting, KPMG in the UK

Josh Port – apprentice and digital ninja, KPMG in the UK

James Stewart – Vice Chair, Head of Brexit, KPMG in the UK

Camilla Woodhead – Head of Student Recruitment, KPMG in the UK
