The Mobile Workforce
If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that a more mobile, robust and remote workforce is here to stay. With companies implementing complete remote or hybrid working, integrating unified communications within your organisation is becoming essential. Companies have learnt that over the past year, that they’ve needed smooth running and flexible communication systems when working with a remote team and to also encourage the same levels of maintaining professionalism and productivity.
