As per last week’s blog post, we all know that COVID-19 has created this record-level disruption that has affected several industries that has caused many employers to alter their business practices and methods. The implementation of remote jobs immediately and reducing their work-force to accommodate their lost of revenue are some examples of what has happened. As more and more countries ease restrictions and end their lockdowns, we must try to figure out what is going to happen to not only the economy, but also how life will progress from this moment.
There will be many new challenges that employers will have to face such as how to safely bring people back to the workplace and how they will perform their jobs. The massive problem that employers would have to face is reimagining the workforce and how it will function after the pandemic. While remote work is great as it saves on real estate costs and allows employees the freedom of relaxed work, it stills comes with its own problems like less effective leadership and office interactions between employees that can spark the exchange of ideas and knowledge.
