The data is in. COVID-19 accelerated a shift to remote work and virtual meetings and it looks like some WFH or a hybrid model is here to stay. Face-to-face business may be permanently replaced by virtual meetings. Digital transactions have become more convenient and efficient. Inclusion and diversity have become major initiatives for many organizations. Companies are using Automation and AI to adapt to the new realities and planning to implement even more technologies.
