With the “great resignation” looming and people seeking full remote or hybrid work arrangements, has your firm fully leveraged digital technologies like automation (to reduce the volume of hours required to complete work), client portals/collaboration apps (to streamline communication and exchange of information and files), e-marketing (to automate the sharing of information to clients and find new clients), and employee engagement (to expand the firm’s culture into the digital sphere and have better awareness of employee that may be at risk).
