Topic

The recent tumultuous years caused by the pandemic have accelerated the change in daily working practices. Today, only 13% of employees prefer to work solely in the office, with the remainder preferring to work partially or entirely remotely. While the morale and productivity benefits of a flexible work environment are undeniable, technical and operational considerations continue to present major challenges, especially employee experience.
