The COVID crisis harpooned us into the future of work over-night and by and large the WFH experiment has worked. Now that the working world has been turned on its head, it’s unlikely to return as it was. As restrictions lift over the coming weeks, how do we plan to: (1) transition from a remote to a blended workforce (2) reconvene in the physically restricted workplace (3) re-connect, collaborate and compete for talent as markets recover.
