Internally we've had more discussions and more debate about the finer details of the hybrid model of working we are trying to finalise on.
It's such a divisive subject, and I speak for myself when I say I am getting rather fed up with it! So many pros and cons, so much to
consider. Ultimately though we hope to strike the right balance and I'm sure we are slowly 'getting there' so to speak.
We listen to every member of our team; we consult with them regularly and take their views on this subject very seriously.
In turn they do ours. Many people still feel much more assured when dealing face to face with clients rather than everything
being on Zoom; they like to physically meet and get to know who they are dealing with. So, it's important that they see a creative
agency with actual people rather than just empty desks all the time! It’s got to be said though, I am finding that most people
who enquire about a service are now much more comfortable having that initial contact on Zoom, which of course does have
many benefits. It's actually far easier for us to present stuff for example, and the meeting has far
less distractions. Continuous food for thought!
Tomorrow I'm taking my wife (who doesn't drive) down to our static caravan in Norfolk for the first time this year.
She will be spending most of the day getting it 'lived in again', before I return back on Friday with our young son for the weekend.
Can't wait! Very much looking forward to being back on the beach again... it's where I'm most happy (90 minutes on a Saturday
at football aside of course but that often doesn't work out well!) - I think better, I come up with new ideas...basically once
we've got no child commitments we will no doubt spend a good 50% of our time there. It's great for working as well....I've found
I'm very productive sat on the decking during the summer on my laptop/phone. Away from the 'rat race' - seagulls chirping away -
much better than being stuck at home or in the office as far as I’m concerned! :)
