For a while now, the digital experience in our personal lives has surpassed our digital experience at work. We’re able to connect with others and share ideas more quickly than ever.

Individuals have now come to expect the same high-touch experience at work as they do in their personal lives. As the digital experience at work continues to catch up to our personal lives, a transformation is taking place as our work lives are increasingly disrupted by technological advancements that can be to the detriment of worklife balance.
