PwC’s Workforce podcast

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic forced a widespread adoption of remote cross-border working. This fundamentally means allowing employees to work and perform tasks remotely from a location other than where the employer is located or where they usually reside and work.  Very often employees and employers needed to “make it happen” and overcome obstacles as they crossed them.
 
As remote cross-border working is – at least to a certain extent – here to stay, HR departments and Global Mobility teams face the need to structurally create policies and processes to enable this.You first need to be aware though of the potential risks of having someone working in another territory. Once the regulatory tolerances are over, the  complex patchwork of personal income tax, employment tax, social security, immigration, labour law and corporate income tax need to be explored.
 
Based on real-life cases, we will guide you through the tax and legal framework to consider, highlight the opportunities and alert you the areas where you should be vigilant.

Many employers are looking for cost savings in compensation and benefits packages as a result of budgetary pressures due to the impact of COVID-19. At a time like this, it is particularly important for employers to offer reward programmes that meet the needs of all employees, during prosperity and hardship. 

Bart Van den Bussche and Sandra De Weerd will provide their insights on how employers can leverage employee preference analytics to balance cost-cutting measures, and provide compensation and benefits that meet the needs of a diverse, multigenerational workforce. During this podcast, information will be shared on the Belgian 2020 PwC workforce preference study which specifically sounded the preferences of the generations Y and Z, being the future workforce generation.

COVID-19 has accelerated the remote workforce by forcing individuals to work from home on a full-time and long-term basis. 

Although many employees are looking forward to returning to their habitual workplaces, the fast forward button to remote working, which has proven to be efficient in many ways, has been pushed. 

The competition for talent was already fierce before COVID-19. As more organisations move towards remote working, which offers employees the benefit of its flexibility, those who do not will find it increasingly difficult to attract new talent, and retain existing talent. 

Companies should now reimagine the future of work for a post COVID-19 world.
