      • How has the remote influx morphed Atlassian's idea of employee "performance," given that the company also prioritizes relationship-building in the workplace?

                    From the publisher's feed

                    “Point of Sail” is a term used by sailors to describe a boat’s direction relative to the wind. Many leaders and HR executives find themselves steering directly into headwinds created by the COVID Pandemic and changing cultural times.
