An MPF Webinar Originally Broadcast on April 29, 2020
On April 29th, we presented our fourth MPF Webinar called “Maintaining Productivity When People Work at Home.” Sharon Abrahams joined us to discuss strategies to maintain and improve productivity when lawyers and support staff work from home. Here is some of what they told us:
- 53% of firm leaders believe that “productivity” declines of 10% or more when people work from home. 11% see declines of more than 25%.
- Too many distractions, lack of structure and little accountability are the primary reasons.
- 73% think the pandemic has accelerated long term trends in the profession in areas like flex-time, work-at-home and the use of technology.
Interestingly, not one person who completed the survey anticipates a return to “business as usual” when the pandemic is behind us. The handouts include our PP deck, online survey results, Sharon’s article called “How to Make Working from Home Work for You,” and Cushman Wakefield’s “How-to Guide for Reopening Your Workplace.”
