Published: April 17, 2020, 10 a.m.

The world of work is in the midst of a reckoning. From finance to retail to hospitals to energy to technology, there\u2019s not one sector that has not felt an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic of its toll on the economy . But we\u2019re evolving, and quickly. Weeks in, many organizations are past that sudden pivot to remote teams and are now stepping back from doing triage to think about what\u2019s truly important for supporting our people. That includes technology, security, and knowledge \u2014 as in learning the skills, approached, and technologies we need to know to function. Laying the framework for a successful shift to what happens now, and in the future, depends on expanding on the lessons we\u2019re learning right now.\xa0
