The pandemic has forced us all to re-evaluate the way we work. For many of us, that has
meant swapping out our daily commute for a home office set-up. And while there are plenty
of upsides to working from home - no more fighting for a seat on the train! - it can also be
quite isolating. That's where video conferencing and instant messaging come in.
These tools help us to stay connected with our colleagues, even when we're not in the same
room. Video conferencing allows us to see each other's faces and to create a more personal
connection. Instant messaging enables us to have informal conversations without disrupting
our work flow. In short, they both help to make working from home a more enjoyable and
productive experience.
