Many thanks for the great feedback we received on our recent blog post  Best Practices Checklist for Large-scale Relocation of Work From the Office to Working From Home.

As a brief follow-up, we want to share some useful links to content focusing on the behavior while working from home. My colleagues from fme AG compiled the link collection to adjust to the changed working conditions.


Why? Simply because, from a communication principles perspective, there is no difference between a virtual meeting and a physical meeting. However, it is more challenging because of latency-based delays. If not all attendees of virtual meetings are equipped with webcams you cannot see each other or just partially. In this case you might miss all the non-verbal communication elements such as gestures and mimics, helping us to put the words into a context more easily.

The following list is a mix of German and English articles on this topic – pick what suits you best.
