Details

What we’re doing now is not the normal ‘working from home’. We’re each trying to manage a household that is now at home (all the time) and deal with the stress of a global pandemic.

A better way to describe what we’re doing now would be: We’re doing the best that we can during a global crisis, and we happen to be at home. With our children, pets, and parents.

Join Lori McLeese, Global Head of Human Resources at Automattic/WordPress.com, as she shares what a normally distributed company is doing (and we’ve made changes) to help our team members thrive during the time of COVID-19.
