As many of us are working from home – following guidelines from governments and ensuring social distancing – we are all wondering how the pandemic will affect how we work, where we work and most importantly how we work together. Many organizations have been forced to accelerate their digital transformations to meet the needs for remote work and the need for people to stay connected while maintaining their regular duties.
