The CDC is being criticized for holding only two briefings in 2021.

They not only increased the amount of technical support (for remote work) but also of emotional support (for all employees). Significantly, that effort hasn’t let up yet.
Whether it’s a pandemic or a new gift policy, a change from what was normal requires good communication.
