Lunch and Learn Office Hours – Reviewing your Remote Work Setup

This session will be held on Friday, November 27th, 2020 at noon.

With many more months of remote work ahead of us, the Learning Centre thought now would be a good time to reflect on what works and what doesn’t work when working from home. Feel free to share your successes and challenges with the group. We will give you some ideas for equipment that you can get to help out, some of which may be covered by the $400 remote work equipment fund recently announced. Also, Duncan McHugh will lead a discussion about ergo considerations in your home office.

Join this session to get some useful insights and to discuss your home office setup. Want to show off your workspace? Send a photo to duncan.mchugh@ubc.ca and you can tell us about it on Friday.
