As part of our ongoing work-life balance and mental health series for accountants, we ran a webinar with 4 panellists, all of them business owners, to find out how they're managing both during COVID-19.
On the panel discussion, we had:
- Reza Hooda, Partner at Walji & Co and Mentor at Rezahooda.com
- Alexandra Bond Burnett, Founder of Blue Arrow Acccounting & Speaking Ambition
- Francesca Tricarico, Co-Founder of Future-Cloud Accounting
- Joe Gollard, Co-Founder of Reducer
In the discussion, we covered a number of different questions touching on both work-life balance and mental health.
They included:
- How do you maintain a positive work-life balance when working from home?
- How do you stop an 'always-on' culture when teams are using tools like Slack into the evening?
- How do you find time for your own mental wellbeing and what do you do?
- How do you manage your team's and your client's mental wellbeing?
