We are all hopeful that things will soon return to normal. However, we all are acutely aware that "normal" may not be what we used to know.) especially when training our workers and employees.

Yet we’ve learned that it is a cognitive challenge for remote and in-person employees to engage equally in a synchronous workplace.
