How Kimberly Kane sought employee input on return to work
The agency leader says that workers have embraced a hybrid model, coming into the office several days a week. But her most important meeting every day is with her daughter.
Over the last several months, there has been a marked change in answers to our questions about a day in the life of a PR pro.
Before the pandemic, many pros would say their team or clients were the most important people they spoke to every day. Now, the answer is often a family member, spouse or child.
Perhaps all this family time is the silver-lining to the COVID-19 crisis?
For Kimberly Kane, president and CEO with the Kane Communications Group, that special person is her 13-yer-old daughter Evelyn, or “Ev.”
Here’s how Kane navigates her new workflow during the global pandemic and WFH:
1. How much coffee do you drink during a day?
Kane: Just a couple of cups. I get my jolt from 10 tall glasses of ice water every day.
2. Who is the most important person you talk to every day?
Kane: My 13-year-old daughter, Evelyn. Running a company as the mom of four is a constant juggling act. It’s so easy to put work first when you love the work you do. Checking in with Ev keeps me grounded (in so many ways!), and it helps ensure I keep everything about my life in perspective.
3. How much of your day is spent on Zoom calls?
Kane: I spend about 40% of my time on Zoom calls.
