### What does the new normal look like now?
We’ve not heard a lot about the “new normal” recently. In our rush to put the pandemic behind us, the conversation has moved on.

### Is your team still working at 10pm?
If you have people working remotely in your business, you’re probably used to emails flying around at all hours of the day or night. Working from home has been life-changing for some. Your people are able to be more flexible with their time during the day, fitting in time for school pick-ups and...
