As a social impact business, we focus intentionally on not just looking for ways to help and deliver enterprising impact in our local communities and beyond, but also in looking for ways to bring awareness to how valuable it is for all businesses to think beyond themselves.

One of the ways we do this is with names. Specifically, the names of our meeting and conference rooms!

6 Rules to Follow When Homeschooling During COVID (or even when it’s over!).

1. The Golden rule of homeschooling is, do NOT try to replicate your child’s mainstream school.

You can’t do a lot of the things the teacher can do with a group of students; you don’t have the same resources so please do not make things more difficult by trying to turn your dining room into a mainstream school!

As a small business owner, it’s likely the recent events surrounding COVID 19 have you pivoting your business in ways you never imagined just a few short months ago. We know there has been a lot of information disseminated in recent days regarding the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), and it can be challenging to decipher the various details.

As we all work to slow the spread and protect our communities, employees, families and ourselves against COVID-19, it’s likely as a small business your team may be working completely remote for the first time. At WorkLodge, we work with entrepreneurs and small businesses daily and along the way have watched them work through all types of situations, often times with limited resources. We’ve picked up a few tricks along the way, and also take pride in the resources we pass along to our Lodgers on a daily basis. Keep reading for WorkLodge’s top 5 tips for navigating remote work as a small business.

When we built WorkLodge, we built it in tandem with FT5K, a nonprofit focused on helping those who can’t help themselves in self-sustaining ways whenever possible. Our work is primarily local (in 2019 we donated over $1,000,000 of fresh food and produce to families in the Houston area for example) however we also aim for one larger scale project overseas each year.

For 2020, we wanted to connect our Members even more to the mission and really bring clarity to our tag line, “Workspace. Changing Lives.” and so we’re excited to explain one of the ways we’ve approached that for 2020.
