With the unprecedented Covid-19 situation, executives are rightfully adopting new ways to look after their company and employees. However, juggling new responsibilities and ways of working with existing business demands can be stressful and time-consuming, so executives also need to think about how to take care of themselves. As a company that specialises in remote working and freeing up executives' time, FYXER has devised this blueprint on how executives can optimise their time when working from home during the coronavirus situation.
In order to work from home effectively, executives should:
How can FYXER help?
Fyxers free up the time of busy executives so they can focus on what matters most. In addition to the usual administrative, personal, professional and executive-level assistance, Fyxers are also experts in remote working. They can provide tips on how to set-up at home, while team leads can also provide advice on how to manage remotely. If there’s a time to have an extra pair of hands, it’s now.
With the closure of UK schools and UK Government advice urging home working where possible, it’s likely that your house - and now office - will be more crowded than usual. In addition, you may well have loved ones over the age of 70 or with pre-existing medical conditions that are having to take even more stringent quarantine measures. As such, it’s only natural that you will face more work distractions than usual.
These may include:
How can FYXER help?
With the news regarding quarantine regulations and school closures, we have received an increasing number of requests on how we can support clients and their loved ones. During this time, FYXER can offer support in many areas, such as:
Looking after both your mental and physical health is particularly important during this time. The UK Government and the NHS have published general advice on physical activity and healthy eating, but executives will need to think about what best suits their lifestyles. For example:

Fyxers can help ensure you remain fit and healthy while working from home by:
“It feels as if I’m getting 15-20 hours of my personal time back, giving me back my sanity. Do I feel less stressed? Yes, one million percent.”
After an initial discovery call, we will put forward a proposal and ask for you to give us the go-ahead. Once the contract is signed we can deploy your bespoke team of Fyxers within 24-72 hours.
After our discovery call we create a team from our pool of talent that is matched to your particular needs. One advantage of working with FYXER is that you gain a team with multiple skill sets, experiences and capacities, working across different time zones.
In your kick-off call with your Account Director and lead Fyxer we will discuss current priorities and urgent tasks, also confirming the style of communication and working that best suits you. Once we are set up on your systems your Fyxers will start owning tasks on day 1.
You will have a dedicated Fyxer who leads the day to day delivery of work for you, supported by a team of Fyxers, matched to your specific needs. Our account management team will be your main point of contact and trusted advisors at every stage of working with FYXER.
Because you will have a team supporting you, it means when your AD or any Fyxers are away, there is always someone that is familiar with your needs and the specific support you receive from FYXER. This ensures you receive a consistent level of service.
We create a communication and management structure tailored to what works best for you. You will have regular and open communication channels to confirm tasks and priorities with your Fyxers, this usually involves a combination of Slack, email and calls alongside more structured weekly stand ups. Each month you have a monthly meeting with your Account Director to cover strategic priorities, feedback and any new projects or areas you need help with. Once onboarding is complete, your Fyxers use your systems so will be executing tasks and owning workstreams in the background whilst you get on with the important stuff.
Data security and confidentiality are of the utmost importance to us. We use secure, encrypted software which gives you the ability to share sensitive data, whether personal or business, safely and securely with FYXER. A fundamental pillar of your relationship with FYXER is having total trust that any confidential information you share with us will be treated as such.
We do meet clients in person regularly, however we pride ourselves on our ability to work remotely and the majority of our relationship will be remote.
We have working hubs in cities including New York, San Francisco, London, Manchester, Cape Town and Doha and local partners who can deliver in person tasks in other major cities across the world.
Our support extends across executive, business and personal tasks. Read more on our services page. However, if you need help beyond our regular services you can discuss this with your Account Director and we will create a bespoke solution.
