Some choose to call on experts in the field to help them retain employees looking for flexibility. According to Bloomberg, companies are seeking advice from professors who have written essays or books on telework. We will certainly have to wait a little longer before the use of these experts becomes widespread, but there is no doubt that telework is here to stay.

This platform allows anyone with doubts about their professional development to talk about it for free with a recruiter. A new form of coaching was born.
