Summary

The International Rescue Committee (IRC), a humanitarian aid organization, has effectively managed the shift to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging cloud-based technology and infrastructure developed over several years. Spearheaded by Chief Innovation Officer Madeleine (Em) Fackler, the IRC had already implemented tools like Box, Salesforce, and Workday to support its global workforce, allowing a seamless transition to remote operations in over 40 countries and 20 U.S. cities. This foresight, coupled with productivity tools such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, enabled the IRC to continue providing essential services and maintain social connectivity among its staff. The transition has highlighted the potential for reduced travel and reliance on in-person meetings, indicating a shift toward remote work as a sustainable model even post-pandemic.
