Overview
The Situation
With the vaccine drive in full swing, and cases of COVID-19 dropping, some regions felt a wave of optimism. With a surge in online businesses, ease in travel restrictions, and employees embracing a hybrid culture—things were looking bright. Then the Delta variant came to the fore and the short-lived relief reverted into the earlier disappointment. It’s now become a way of life for people, organizations, and industries alike.
The transition to normalcy still appears afar. Organizations, governments, and communities are responding through unprecedented public health and economic measures. However, the risk of the emergence of a significant new variant is a possibility everyone must consider in their preparedness. A more realistic endpoint still evades us, and managing the present situation remains a priority.
The topmost priority for any business should be to protect the health and safety of the workforce. This calls for rapid and well-informed decisions to ensure the same.
The Impact
With the COVID-19 outbreak peaking in some parts of the world and the WHO recognizing that the pandemic is only accelerating, delayed decisions will end up hurting long-term business goals. This represents a very rare challenge where businesses need to start assessing their readiness to accommodate the new ways of working.
Most of the workforce, barring the ones providing essential services, suddenly find themselves confined to their homes and businesses are scrambling to enable telecommuting. For people who never expected to be in this state or who have no experience of working from home, this is a huge change to accommodate at a very short notice. The way we work and engage is bound to be fundamentally altered.
The time to act is NOW.
Drastic situations call for drastic measures.
