Hello, Finance Group members!
I hope this message finds you healthy and safe. While I know that the pandemic has had a huge impact on our global economy, I'm curious to hear how this global pandemic has effected your day-to-day.
I'm wondering - how has COVID-19 changed your role/projects? How are you using Atlassian tools to help manage these changes?
I'm hoping here that we can learn from each other's use cases.
Cheers,
Bridget
Oh wow, you're back at work @John Funk ? How has the office itself changed - I'm sure there are some new precautions to keep everyone safe?
Happy to hear Jira has been a rock for your team in a time where everything else is changing! I will let that team know - they'll be so thrilled to hear it.
If you get a minute to chat with your product teams, I'd love to hear their perspectives! Kudos to you if you can get someone to write an Article on Community ;).
Hope you're gearing up for a good weekend, John! Thanks as always for your thoughts,
Bridget
The office is great - we've been back for several months now. Yes, there are several new precautions. Masks are optional - some wear them, most do not. But there are several stations with hand sanitizer available and all interior doors (except restrooms) are propped open to avoid having to touch them. There are cleaning people that move throughout the building all day wiping down common surfaces. And there are deep cleans on selected weekends.
So, all-in-all, we are following CDC, state, and local guidelines, remain safe, and have few if any problems.
I will see what I can do with one or two of the product teams. ;-)
Hi Bridget
The staff of the bank has been largely working from home since March 2020. The bank needed to invest quite heavily in their infrastructure to support their 43000 odd employees.
COVID-19 has had a huge impact for the bank and it's employees. We are experiencing a 3rd wave now and it is unlike that we will go to work anytime soon. Either way, remote working (or a variant) will likely continue going into the future. The bank is designing a new workplace that will incorporate a larger component of remote working.
We have not missed a beat regards the use of the Atlassian products and I am personally very grateful for that.
Hope you are keeping well.
