Work From Home Panel Series

Accellera and ESD Alliance recently co-sponsored a panel series focused on the dynamics of working from home during the pandemic and what the transition back to the office might look like. Part two of the virtual work-from-home panel series, “The Executive View — Returning to the Office” was held in August and explored transition strategies for returning to the office, discussed the tradeoffs between remote and in-office work, and shared evolving policies with travel and relocation. View a recording of the panel here. Part one in the series, “Remote Work, Remote Chip Design: Building Chips During a Pandemic” was held in June. You can view a recording of part one here.
