Sharing this article from Site Selection magazine which outlines the challenges facing today’s workforce as the pandemic continues.

For that reason, I’m letting them speak for themselves, with their words edited only for style, clarity and brevity. In some cases, their words are so powerful, you’ll want to read them twice.
