As more businesses are returning to work, including remote work forces involving very particular talent, organizations are beginning to come to grips with the challenges that they are facing. Sports teams are a very high profile test case for this, which studios, producers, and employers should be monitoring in order to learn for their own situations. Some key things to consider:

- What happens with the key talent just does not want to leave his or her family? And if you're reading this Mr. Ovechkin, please don't do that .......
- What is the tipping point, when the world around does not allow production or in-person business to go forward?
All of these concerns are occurring right now for the NHL, NWSL, MLS, NBA, and MLB -- and we can all gain valuable insights from the fits and starts that we will all be following in the coming months.
