The Management Consultancies Association (MCA) is hosting a series of virtual workshops for MCA member firms and their employees on issues impacting both individuals and employees during the current situation.
To date, over 250 consulting leaders have joined a number of events to listen to expert advice and views from a range of specialists on a variety of subjects ranging from managing client relationships during disruption brought about by Coronavirus to good practice for working from home. Further workshops taking place include a view of Government support packages to building emotional resilience and coping in demanding times.
Tamzen Isacsson, MCA Chief Executive said:
“Everyone is experiencing major changes on how we go about our lives with big impacts on employers, employees and private and public sector organisations across the UK. Our member firms are working with tens of thousands of clients across the country dealing with this challenge and getting businesses remote working both here in the UK and abroad. As a result, the MCA continues to meet the needs of its members who are coping with a number of new, complex issues on a day to day basis. These workshops are just one of the ways that the MCA is helping firms during this unprecedented period.”
