June 12, 2020
We are living in unprecedented times and the news is overwhelming. At Access, our teams are knee-deep in communicating and reporting on how Coronavirus is impacting our clients, their industries and how the situation itself is changing daily. It’s a lot. That’s why, we’ve decided to create a happy distraction… so, until further notice, the Access JOYFLASH will be coming your way every Friday, each week curated by a different researcher’s sense of All the News That Does Not Suck. EnJOY.
