“As compelling as coronavirus may feel, workforce illness is not a business case; and massive corporate decisions must be made on evidence, not emotions. So, to make an educated and intentional decision about how telecommuting will impact your business, research the processes and understand the benefits that you can expect by making the change” – Forbes
