Is Microsoft the best digital workplace solution?

The digital workplace as a concept has been getting a lot of attention especially in the Microsoft ecosystem. The modern digital workplace is forcing companies to rethink how we work best and where we work, changing our traditional workplace into more of a digital workplace.

Some thoughts on working from home

It’s an oft-repeated comment, but we really are having to learn to live our lives in ways that are as novel as Covid-19 itself.

Our Best Practices When Working from Home

In the wake of all the changes and uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, ClearPeople are working hard to keep our spirits up and our business running as smoothly as possible given the circumstances.
