The industry’s post-pandemic resurgence has brought back everything from live events to in-person networking. With the wedding boom (finally!) starting to quell, many event pros are settling back into their routines. Yet, for many businesses, one underlying shift remains a part of the “new normal”: remote work.
There are countless benefits to remote work. For one, employees are often more productive when provided with flexible arrangements. A better work/life balance also boosts morale across the board. Pair a happy team with the cost savings of a virtual workspace, and it’s hard to argue for the traditional in-person, 9-5 setting.
