The pandemic in 2020 has forced many businesses to embrace
remote working. Many have invested heavily in setting employees
up to work from outside of a fixed office - and evidence
suggests that many will continue to operate remotely after the

working after the pandemic? We would love to hear from you for
an article we are writing on the subject, or possibly a series
of interviews depending on the level of response.
Requirements:

fixed office setup to remote working / home working in 2020 as a
result of the pandemic, and are now planning to maintain at
least some remote working flexibility on a permanent basis.

company, or maybe you plan to combine office and remote work.
