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.
