The arrival of autumn signals new beginnings for those of us that work in education. However, the start of the new academic year in 2021 is like no other that I can remember because we will be returning to campus just as we are emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic. Evidence suggests that both business leaders and employees are considering the future of their organisations and roles based on their experiences in the last eighteen months. It has been a period of intense change where we have had to develop and use new skills and processes. At the same time we have also been looking after our own physical and mental wellbeing, as well as those close to us including colleagues and customers.
