Our procurement and supply chain team don’t work in the same area of the office (which is crazy in my opinion). It negatively impacts our communication between departments and has caused some issues with projects lately. Has anybody had similar experiences? What are some solutions that could be beneficial?

Do you have regular meetings? I'd recommend regular meetings that are work-related and then maybe quarterly events that are more for fun. (Try to make them during work time if possible, or else it feels like an added burden.) Sometimes, the solutions are simple and can help improve communication & camaraderie.

That's one of the obvious results if these two teams don't work in the same area. You can set weekly meetings with them or even 2x a week if you need to discuss a lot of things.

It's better to have an internet enabled office automation system in which the supply chain and procurement team work with single departmental portal. With the help of this, the both team can plan, discuss their objective and agenda points from anywhere.

I have 32k miles with THY that are about to expire. Normally I'd go ahead and book a flight, but I can't project which countries might be locked down again 5-6 months from now (haven't accrued enough PTO to travel in near future). The only other way to keep the miles is to pay $10 per 1000 miles, as far as I know. Are there other strategies?
