 SYNOPSIS

Work From Home has become business as usual. Not even a year ago, working
remotely was an opportunity for just a small percentage of the workforce. Then along
came the Covid-19 pandemic, and that caused an instantaneous change. Companies in
traditional office spaces were forced to send their employees home to work remotely-
and many of these employees will continue to work from home, long after the pandemic
is over.

The change was inevitable. While the pandemic impose the WHF economy, it was
going to happen anyway. Over time, businesses would have realized that technology
enables this capability. Excluding factory jobs, restaurants, grocery stores, retail and
other businesses that required people to be on location, many company, the number of
companies that will adapt to a percentage of their workforce going remote will have
greater impact beyond the company, its employees and its customers.
WHAT IS COVID-19 ??

producing severe symptoms and in some cases death, especially in older people and

and became pandemic in 2020.
