Let's look at the contents or structure of the talk, I'll do an introduction and introduce the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, I'll look at the business approach of business continuity, and how it impacts onto operations. I'll look at an introduction to remote work and teleworking as a practice, and then how it fits into an overall business continuity approach on operations. I'll look at what's been happening in terms of remote work during COVID-19, how organisations have reacted and global reactions during the pandemic. I'll talk about best practice within the area of remote working and how to mitigate current risks within COVID-19. I'll look at the opportunity for change and improvement out of the current situation, and we'll have a conclusion.

My name is Rowena Hennigan, I'm a remote work skills lecturer with TU Dublin in Ireland, and I'm completely remotely based, so I deliver virtually on various e-learning modules, and online classes, and I have been based fully remotely for the last three years in Spain. I work on various different projects and I've often never met my co-workers, which is something a lot of remote workers are used to. I co-founded a 'Future of Work Skills' module at TU Dublin, which has a heavy emphasis on remote work. I've also been a series editor with Henry Stewart Talks before, on the Online Learning for Business Education series. I'm a remote consultant as well, focusing on remote work skills, and personally I've been a remote worker on and off since 2007.
