Challenges to the Future of Remote Work #1: Employers

Professionally, 2020 highlighted the precarity of jobs, the disparity between remote-enabled teams, those whose jobs could not be done virtually, and those whose companies were ill-equipped for the transition. During this three-part series we will break down three facets of the future of work, from three unique perspectives: employers, employees and a focus on cybersecurity. Each panel discussion will convene innovators who are actively challenging the status quo to build the workplace of tomorrow, today.
