The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought about the rapid transition from traditional to tech-based working methods with the application of the Internet and teleconferencing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, most companies encountered numerous difficulties in their administration and operation. They didn’t get the chance to have face-to-face meetings with each other to discuss important issues, as well as failed to work on various projects together, due to social distancing measures. Teleconferencing appeared as the optimal solution as they provided the necessary infrastructure to maintain continuity in work. Virtual platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet facilitated regular meetings, project management and even large-scale conferences and webinars. In the post-pandemic era, the convenience of teleconferencing has led to a shift in the way we work and interact. Many organizations have decided to adopt a hybrid work model (the combination of working in an office and working from home) or fully remote work arrangements by means of virtual meeting apps. These apps provide employees with greater flexibility. In other words, all meetings and conferences can be conducted on virtual platforms so that it is unnecessary for employees to show up. Consequently, they can balance their professional and personal lives more effectively, resulting in increased job satisfaction and productivity. Participants across different time zones can join the meetings without their physical presence. a. Decide whether the following sentences are True or False: Question 23.
