The challenge of working from home

As coronavirus forces more of us to work from home, we explore the challenges it poses.

As coronavirus forces more of us to work from home, we explore the challenges it poses. Daisy Upton is author of Five Minute Mum, and discusses how parents can combine work with looking after young children. Anita Douglas is an occupational psychologist and director of Leading Results, a learning and development company, and offers tips for coping with the solitary aspects of working from home. And Tim Bradshaw of Sandstone Communications tells us how managers can effectively lead their teams remotely. Also in the programme, as the US Congress signs off on a draft stimulus package worth two trillion dollars, aimed at alleviating the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak, Betsey Stevenson, professor of economics at the University of Michigan talks us through what she sees as being the most important provisions in the bill. Plus, after India's prime minister Narendra Modi announced a three week national lockdown on Tuesday, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Nikhil Inamdar describes the scene on the streets of Mumbai. And we assess the likely impact of India's own fiscal stimulus programme with Raghuram Rajan, former head of the Reserve Bank of India, and now professor of finance at the Chicago Booth School of Business.
