Like many of us, the Cleaver Property Management team are currently working from home, to stay as safe as possible during the Covid-19 outbreak. For those who are used to an office atmosphere, we understand that it can be challenging to adapt to remote working, so we've been sharing tips among ourselves to keep each other feeling positive and motivated. But, at Cleaver Property Management we're about community, so it didn't seem right to keep it to ourselves. With the help of Bright HR and Flamingo Writing, we've pulled together some tips and trick that anyone in any role can use.

Oh, and we've thrown in a couple of cute dogs for good measure, of course.

 

“If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. And by the end of the day, that one task completed, will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter. If you can't do the little things right, you'll never be able to do the big things right. And if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made, that you made. And a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.”

Remember, staying connected is as much about socialising as it is about work. We all log on at 9am each day and say Good Morning on the team chat, just as if we were arriving at the office. We also have a rule that the team chat isn't used for "work chat" (we have other means for this). It's simply a place for us to communicate and keep the friendly office vibe that we all love about working here. We set each other silly tasks to keep spirits up, and offer up an ear to anyone who might be finding the change difficult. Our lovely Magda even starts each day with a positive "quote of the day".
