Maintain a positive work/life balance:

When staff are working from home it’s not uncommon for them to work longer hours and take fewer breaks. Try setting a reminder in your diary for when you staff should finish working, and make sure to take they take at least a 30 minute lunch break

Set aside time to focus:

For many of us Zoom, Slack and Teams have become an important part of our working day, but it can also make it a lot harder to find quiet time to concentrate. Encourage staff to temporarily mute notifications for an hour or so when working on larger projects
