They moved from working in an office to working remotely.
They learned to navigate workspaces shared with children and other family members. They became a reassuring and comforting voice to customers who were often stressed and anxious.
And in many cases, they did all this without reliable phone and internet connections or the support of their peers and managers.
The theme is colourfully illustrated in fuchsia, turquoise, and gold logo. And it is imprinted on a wide-range of decorations, gifts, rewards, stress relievers, puzzles, and activities created to celebrate The Power of Service.
