“…Indeed, the Chair of the Local Enterprise Partnership is a 'nonconstituent' (politically independent) member of the Cabinet, which had otherwise been made up mainly of Labour politicians working with the Conservative Mayor, Ben Houchen. The partnership working model is evident in the shared approach to identifying a potential site for expanded Covid-related healthcare delivery (Brown, 2020).…”

Following an intermittent and halting roll-out, Combined Authorities (CAs) are now an established part of English governance. They represent a ‘pooling’ of competences by different geographically contiguous local authorities which approximately align with economic geographies and have emerged with strong encouragement from central government. Today, they cover most of England’s large urban centres and enjoy a modest and variable range of permissions to act over planning, transport, and economic development. Since their establishment, they have grown in profile, owing in part to the presence of Directly Elected Mayors, who provide the model with executive leadership, visibility, and electoral legitimacy. The period of the Covid-19 pandemic provides an opportunity to assess their role and influence and to explore how this changed during and as a result of this period of sustained national emergency. Drawing upon publicly available data related primarily – but not exclusively – to three CAs (West Midlands, Teesside, and Liverpool), we conclude that they have played three main overlapping roles. Firstly, they have proven to be engaged in coordination and mediation between regional stakeholders. Secondly, they have proved influential as agenda setters, drawing attention to central government failure. Thirdly, they have acted within their regeneration and planning competences to strategise the economic and urban futures of their city-regions.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of employees find themselves working from home for the first time, and organizational leaders and supervisors are coping with the challenge of managing remote workers who are struggling to set and maintain a boundary between work and home life. Using an evidence-based management approach, we offer actionable insights into how managers can assess, create, and support work-from-home practices that address employees’ daily boundary control needs and challenges effectively. Our assess–create–support framework provides a blueprint for how managers can establish and optimize psychological and time-related work-home boundaries to enhance remote workers’ health, well-being, and performance.

“…However, the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the job landscape, with a move toward home working becoming increasingly common. This transition calls for organisational policies, tactics, and employee work practices 2 .

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, influence on business and organization practices and policies, and the number of couples joining the workforce in India has increased significantly. Due to forced work-from-home strategy and rigid work policies, couples struggle to integrate their professional and personal lives effectively. Various work and family-related topics are examined in this study to see how Indian couples manage work and family. An exploratory qualitative research article interviewed ten couples from Indian software companies. The six main themes that emerge from the stories include the impact of family on life choices, the difficulties of balancing many roles, and the need for coping methods in the workplace.
