They will then reveal three organizations who got it right, by prioritizing adaptability to enable them to keep up in the new world of work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div class='newsletter-hubspot-container themeLightGrey padding-no'>\n  <div class='wrapper'>\n          <div class='image-wrapper'>\n                  <img decoding=\"async\"\n            class='image'\n            loading='lazy'\n            alt=\"Background pattern\" \n            src=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/themes\/totara\/assets\/images\/bg-cta-light-grey.png\"\n            sizes=\"(min-width: 1440px) 708px, (min-width: 768px) 50vw, 100vw\"\n          \/>\n              <\/div>\n    \n    <div class='content-wrapper'>\n            <div class='form-wrapper grey-background-no'>\n                                    <h2 class='title fontDark'>Download the guide<\/h2>\n                                                    <div id=\"hubspot-form-container\">\n            \n\t\t\t\t\t<script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\twindow.hsFormsOnReady = window.hsFormsOnReady || [];\n\t\t\t\t\t\twindow.hsFormsOnReady.push(()=>{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\thbspt.forms.create({\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tportalId: 3415253,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tformId: \"436f1db9-e7f4-47ba-80e1-d8017bdf9843\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget: \"#hbspt-form-1775977744000-9476760192\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tregion: \"na1\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t})});\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hbspt-form\" id=\"hbspt-form-1775977744000-9476760192\"><\/div>          <\/div>\n          <div id=\"hubspot-fallback-message\" style=\"display: none; padding: 20px; background-color: #f8f9fa; border: 1px solid #dee2e6; border-radius: 8px;\">\n            <p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px;\">\n              This form may be blocked by your browser&#8217;s privacy settings (e.g., Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection).
