How do you manage to deliver financial guidance and well-being support to your employees when your workforce is dispersed? 🌍💼 The key is to ensure a range of communication and delivery methods. 📡📲 To ensure maximum engagement, you may need to run a combination of in-person and virtual events. One-to-one advice can be accessed via phone call 📞 or Zoom 💻.
