As the company begins to use it, they can utilize the free version until they determine if they need to upgrade to Premium or Business. All employees can create a Skype account using their work email and can watch free online tutorials on how to download and use the technology. The video conference aspect that allows employees to see each other while talking helps preserve the human aspect of meetings which will likely preserve the positive company culture. This option will allow employees to join meetings from wherever they are.]]> 2017-07-24 02:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/and2182657/uf62kua1ha17/wish/179283423 and2182657 https://padlet.com/and2182657/uf62kua1ha17/wish/179284361 2017-07-24 03:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/and2182657/uf62kua1ha17/wish/179284361
