Worth a read if you find yourself constantly planning and trying to square the circle of the coronavirus at the moment. 👇🏻👇🏻 @matthewsyed @thesundaytimes

.@WeWork and commercial real estate firm @CushWakeUK predict the post-shutdown office space will be all about cutting down worker density, constant sanitizing and getting workers on the same page about safe behaviors they'll need to adopt #Property

This is really great from @McKinsey on #COVID19 and the challenges of recovery.

Has the furlough scheme removed the incentive to work?

[Richard - theCommercialFD @theCommercialFD]

Worth a read. A lot of businesses have moved on from coping with the short term problems and have started to think out what happens when we start to come out of all of this. #COVID19 #SME

I know people have asked this before (esp @Andy_Curium), but what are the best self help, management books worth reading in #lockdown? If I needed to start a list... (Have read some, just looking for reading material!). Thoughts? 💭

[Richard - theCommercialFD @theCommercialFD]

@alexgreggfoster Sorry to hear that, buddy. Will give you shout if I hear of anything. Might be worth giving @SimkissGuy a bell on Monday too.

Stay safe! 👊🏻

Detailed guidance on the government’s #jobretentionscheme has been issued. Find it here... 👇🏻👇🏻

https://t.co/WsxvzEQLy4

[Richard - theCommercialFD @theCommercialFD]

@GOVUK @HMRCgovuk Thanks. Is the 80% payable on the gross or net cost? Must be on the net, surely? You wouldn’t get employers to play income tax on costs you are funding. That would be daft.

[Richard - theCommercialFD @theCommercialFD]

Still no update on how the #JobRetentionScheme will work. I really don't expect miracles and am hugely sympathetic, our civil servants have quite a bit on at the moment, but it would be handy to know more over the next couple of days. @GOVUK @HMRCgovuk 👍👊

[Richard - theCommercialFD @theCommercialFD]

And if you are furloughed, can you work elsewhere? Can you get a job stacking shelves in the supermarkets?

I assume not? @GOVUK @10DowningStreet @RishiSunak

#Covid_19 #coronavirus

[Richard - theCommercialFD @theCommercialFD]

Does anyone know if you can furlough part of someone’s post? If I needed some business continuity cover, but not a whole post (assume I would retain 1 day a week) can I still get the benefit of the #jobretentionscheme? #CoronaCrisis #coronavirus
