In our inaugural virtual session with FWA Champions called "Viewpoints from FWA Champions", we discuss the topic of "The Future of Work in a Covid Environment."
Our Champions share their viewpoints on how workplaces will change in a Covid environment, including the following issues:
- Has the workplace culture changed?
- Does WFM highlight cultural and generational gaps that management needs to address?
- Will client meetings and business travel change permanently from what we know in the past?
- The importance of technology in making business work
- Work-life balance – are managers prepared for it?
