#IWD2022 to all the ladies who just did a full days work, school runs, packed lunches, tea, homework, and then logged back on to work all evening. I guess this is having it all??? #RealityCheck
Some very helpful advice for leaders - and doable remotely 💻
Sometimes leaders say "psychological safety is tricky here due to the wider culture of this organisation". Yet each of us as leaders can promote psychological safety, every hour, every day, through our own actions. See Google's summary of actions for managers via @AmyCEdmondson

Consumer behaviour & lockdown - we’re staying local, with reduced demand for long distance travel, public transport and increased demand for lower risk transport eg walking, cycling
I did not know this! How to take responsibility for our carbon footprint while working at home #DOPconf
Replying to @occpsychuk
How can we reduce our carbon footprint while home working? 40% of emissions come from our households....understand your carbon footprint and plan to reduce this through increased efficiency

Naomi’s study compared workers spending 10 mins outdoors vs time spent indoors doing a nature based activity. Those who went out had enhanced mood. People know it’s good to be outside but they feel guilty about it!
Learnt what ‘biophilia’ is today, human/ nature interaction is so important #DOPconf
Replying to @occpsychuk
A view of nature through our windows reduces stress, even a plant in your office can reduce stress in the workplace. Biophilia - Attention restoration theory ie diverting your attention toward nature enhances performance afterwards
Some very pertinent findings from today’s #DOPconf - nature is so important to our wellbeing 🌳
Now @naomistone talks at #DOPconf about our interactions with nature.

OP’s can encourage people to spend people out in nature! And on that note- this tweeter is going out to take a break in nature!

Virtual meetings protocols: 1. stick to a set of agreed rules regarding communication 2. take time to be extra clear 3. don’t bombard your team with messages, minimise digital volume 4. Introverts may prefer written communication 5. Find ways to celebrate and socialise together

What digital skills are required? 1. Being social with new starters, be open about values and expectations, develop new rituals unique to the team 2. Support leavers too
