The energy and creativity of a dynamic office environment is something Yvan Boisjoli, co-founder and chief executive of Bold Commerce, a Winnipeg-based developer of e-commerce solutions, also said he misses. “Some are living alone, others are having to juggle work with family demands, so we make sure we communicate regularly,” Boisjoli said.
