After careful assessment and contemplation, and an in-depth work from home (WFH) preparedness assessment for business continuity, Avid will transition to a state of mandatory work from home beginning on Monday, March 23. This applies to all Avid locations globally, with the exception of limited essential personnel. We have also imposed business travel restrictions and established office protocols to ensure the safety of all Avid team members who are essential personnel and must conduct their work at the office.

CelAction

Here at CelAction we’ve been helping our clients prepare to work from home for the past few weeks, quietly and without fanfare. Everyone who asked us for help has been helped, and this situation has been our highest priority. We didn’t even think about publicising it, because our clients know they can talk to us about their needs and we always respond.

So it was with surprise and some disappointment that we saw other major software companies in our sector offer help in the form of at-home licences that were limited from 90 days to as low as 30 days. While we hope that the COVID-19 disruption doesn’t last for months, nobody knows how long it will last. But what is certain is that the effects of shifting work to home will take time, cause stress, and have an ongoing impact on schedules.
