What is the future of work in the era of COVID-19?
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted labor markets globally in 2020. There were immediate consequences: Furloughed workers, layoffs, and millions of people suddenly working from home. By late 2020 and certainly into 2021, businesses began to slowly re-open. Some furloughed or laid off workers returned to their roles back at the office, sometimes at different pay scales or with different or more responsibilities.
By the end of Q1 2021, a kind of tectonic shift in the workforce began to reveal itself. By that time the world was seeing a large number of workers simply not returning to their jobs. Worse yet, the people needed to fill these now vacant positions had started to become scarce.
If workers did return businesses had to contend with changes that would have major ramifications:
- Physical location requirements
- Wage compression
- Employee sentiment
- Attrition
- Travel requirements
It became clear by summer 2021 that the global workforce would not ever be returning to what it once was, pre-pandemic.
How can businesses of all sizes manage this remarkable change in the workforce without allowing it to become a crisis? How has the pandemic impacted financial and sales planning, hiring and headcount management, and overall growth opportunity?
