15 September 2020

There’s been a huge, sudden change to the world we live in as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many businesses didn’t have time to prepare for the changes that it’s company would face and working remotely suddenly became the norm. With all these changes, companies have had a taste of understanding what it would be like to have their employees work from home in the long-term.
