Program overview

The COVID19 pandemic forced organizations to opt for Work from Home and other Alternative Working Arrangements (AWA) as a recourse for business continuity. People are afraid of the contagion and government enforced quarantine.

Employees were unprepared for the abrupt changes in the new work set-up. Managers and Supervisors have encountered challenges in managing a remote workforce. There is need to innovate and adapt new work flows, reporting, performance assessment, output, etc. to ensure employee engagement while working remotely.

The new normal will eventually become permanent even if an antidote to the virus is produced. WFH may even turn out to be the better alternative considering agility, facility of technology and problems in mobility.
