I don’t think work from home would have been as successful had the pandemic arrived a decade earlier.
By Bernard Salt, executive director, The Demographics Group
The coronavirus pandemic has caused the greatest social and cultural disruption to the Australian people since WWII. Its legacies, including a greater attention to hygiene and sanitation, will continue for a generation into the future.
But amid the sadness of lives lost there have been responses that I think will shape the way forward. And nowhere is this better evidenced than in the world of work.
New arrangements like work from home have been revolutionary and tap into the deep-seated Australian penchant for lifestyle.
But it has also triggered the need for new technology (Zoom call, anyone?) and new processes where workers will continue to adapt, to learn how to collaborate in any environment, to demonstrate compliance, and perhaps even celebrate team successes, online.
