On March 15, 2020, thousands of businesses instantly transformed into virtual workplaces. Anyone and everyone who could work for home, especially non-essential workers, was thrust into an unfamiliar zone. Businesses leaders scrambled to provide the tools to make the transition. Those who had already prepared for disaster recovery made a relatively smooth transition, those who were behind the curve are still struggling.
