With countries locked down and many people and businesses working remotely, the world is seeing a rapid shift to employees working from home.
Whilst many marketing and sales or admissions tasks can continue uninterrupted remotely, without the structure of a day in the office you may find you have some free working hours that you wouldn't usually have.
Uncertain times and remote working make it a good time to consider upskilling and focusing on your own (and your employees') professional development.
Here are some of our top recommend (free!) resources for upskilling out of the office:
