We’re ready to open up the state to get back to work,” Kathryn Goppelt told reporters last weekend as protesters marched on the Louisiana capitol in Baton Rouge calling for an end to the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns.

With 350,000 employees across 170 countries IBM has witnessed firsthand the global response to the pandemic and is taking a cautious, case-by-case approach to opening its own offices. Some 95% of its staff are now working from home.

States can begin to lift stay-at-home orders, she said. “But that doesn’t mean we will immediately return to the workplace.”

IBM has set up a set of global standards that includes governments and states lifting those orders, b
