Most of us have been working from home for over a year due to the unexpected turn of events as a result of COVID-19. Since then, Agile working practices have been the most effective way of continuing the operation with minimum constraints.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind to better perform in an agile working environment.

Over the years, we have been neglecting the importance of our environment as we started to focus more on the advancement of technology. Unless we realize that it is essential to save and rebuild our relationship with nature, we will gradually lose the right to be a part of it.

It is high time to spare a thought for what has been saving us to this date. Let us celebrate the World Environment Day by working together to save our planet.

Start today for a better tomorrow!

Happy Vesak Everyone!
