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.
