Remote Work. Work from Home. Work from Anywhere. I don’t think these are pandemic or trendy business practices. Many organizations embraced remote work teams prior to Covid, but what an acceleration! I think these strategies will continue to be a part of our culture moving forward. We may not maintain pandemic levels of virtual teams, but remote work will be a vital component of our contact centers. We have dedicated a portion of our website to share best practices in remote work policies and the latest technologies. We cover the people, operations, strategy and technology issues that produces successful remote programs.
