Workplace Values, For Wherever You’re Working From

October 2022
The current generation will forever remember the week of March 9, 2020.
That week, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The U.S. government announced a nationwide emergency. States began to shut down to slow the spread of the illness. And according to Google Trends, the term “remote work” vaulted to its peak popularity, a four-fold spike from the prior month.
The popularity of the term “remote work” continues to hold steady. In fact, it just neared its March 2020 peak again this past summer. Search for it today and you’ll get over 65 million results. (Over 2 billion if you remove the quotes.)
