For most organizations, combating COVID-19 is forcing a real-time exploration of an entirely new way of working. While some may have had flexible work strategies in place, to have a workforce that is geographically distributed in its entirety is largely unprecedented. There is no silver lining to a catastrophic event like a global pandemic, and yet we have to figure out ways to learn and grow from what we’re collectively experiencing. On April 17th, 2020, IA met with industry experts to discuss this topic and share the results of IA's client survey during a live webinar panel discussion.
