For the past 15 years, there's been a shift in how people work, where they work from and how they connect to "work". Employees are no longer tethered to headquarters, their offices or tied to slower complicated VPN services. Additionally, the way people work and where they work from has changed. Along with flexible work hours, employees want workplace flexibility. And with such a competitive job market, employers have to deliver! Flexible work environments offer tremendous benefits such as improved productivity and morale, reduced stress levels and better work-life balance which builds trust and commitment.

While working from home has been a welcome change for a large fraction of the workforce, it does not come without its own set of caveats. Project management tools have aided in this en masse shift to remote work greatly, but many organizations have faced a recurring issue over the past few months; siloed tasks and processes, and lack of visibility across multiple platforms. So we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Unito, a one-stop collaboration tool which addresses this very issue!
