Welcome to Voices of Change
These articles and features aim to inspire and galvanize fellow business professionals in this fast-changing world.
Started by three leaders at Philip Morris International and their colleagues in summer 2020, these Voices of Change hope to highlight new opportunities, as we adjust to the “new normal” during and after the pandemic.
From advice on flexible working and choosing your cheerleaders, to tips on working from home and starting a new job during lockdown, the Voices’ broad range of content will provide a wealth of guidance through this challenging period.
