The majority of teams have a weekly slot where they get together and have an update meeting, with even remote workers often dialling in to touch base with everybody else. However, these meetings seem to vary between different workplaces from being motivating, efficient and useful, to being a weekly drag that everybody tries to get out of so they can get on with what they were doing.

Working from home is becoming a more and more common option for professionals in all kinds of fields, and in recruitment, it certainly isn’t unusual. If you’ve recently decided, or been given the opportunity to work from home some or all of the time, at first it can seem like the best idea ever – no more time or money wasted on commuting, the ability to work more flexibly, and of course, the lack of obligation to wear proper clothes every morning.
