Research administrators are
resilient in general and even more so during tumultuous times (think federal
deadlines, last minute closeout reports, and ARRA funding in general!). In our
united response to COVID-19, many of us are facing working from home for an
extended period for the first time as we rise to meet the current challenges
facing our society and organizations large and small. SRA International has
pulled together a group of experts to discuss strategies and ideas to optimize
teleworking.
Working from home has many benefits
beyond the obvious reduction in commute time. It offers flexibility, less
interruptions, and efficiency, but only when matched with discipline, structure
and active dialogue with team members. The experts on this panel bring a broad,
international perspective on topics including self-management, team management,
effective video conferencing, and optimizing communication.
