What Leni Rivera can say in an interview
on The Future of the Workplace:

    • Working from home is here to stay. And when the pandemic starts to fade, workers will also be working in trains, airports, corporate hotels, and cafes.
    • Corporate offices will form a part of this new “workplace ecosystem,” and become one of the options available for employees to work.
    • As a result, the focus of the future workplace is shifting from where employees work to how they work, and companies will need to direct their resources to ensure their workers have what they need to be productive, engaged, and happy, regardless of where they are.

After a tumultuous year of COVID and social distancing, it looked like we were reaching the light at the end of the tunnel as restrictions started to loosen up, but unfortunately, it didn’t last long as the new delta variant is spreading rapidly.

Having people we can talk to about anything that bothers us—relationship problems, health concerns, or maybe as simple as to what to have for dinner helps build our resilience to get through any challenge.

And while this may be the case for the second phase of reentry, it may not be the case long-term.

 Here are 5 tips for enduring success while working from home:
