    In the past workplace culture was handled based on in-person conversations, performance was measured on metrics as well as on team interactions.

    Now and into the future workplace culture is about remote and how to engage with remote workers and how to succeed in remote teams.

    • The emotional reality of the pandemic disruption and how to deal with changes in people leaving (honoring longtime workers who are leaving)
