These 4 courses from Meesho’s online learning platform — Learnovate — are all about making remote working effective and productive for Meeshoites
In the month of May, Meesho launched Learnovate, a first-of-its kind free and self paced learning and development programme, powered by MyAcademy and Prosus (Naspers).
The world as we know, changed a few months back and with it came mayhem and a new way of working — that of working from home. Suddenly, learning something new took centre stage because we now had time to work and also play.
Meesho then thought it fit to introduce one of the most powerful ways of being productive this lockdown — learning something new and upgrading one’s existing skills.
And lockdown life meant remote working, and this involved learning how to build trust in teams while working remotely, how to manage and influence a team towards success and how to work productively from home. Our round up below, of remote working courses from learnovate, are helping Meeshoites still work as effectively as they would during a regular day at office.
