Description
NexGen Technologies announces the launch of NexGen Virtual following its acquisition of Walkabout Workplace. Originally making its debut in 2016, Walkabout Workplace presented an opportunity for remote teams to work together in a simulated virtual office environment. Their mission was to create a similar sense of culture and community present in in-person workplaces. Designed before the Covid-19 pandemic forced much of the workforce to go remote, it was uniquely positioned to take advantage of the sudden shift to remote work conditions.
