The Next Chapter of Work Flexibility: Did COVID-19 Push Us to Evolve Too Quickly?
Today, Michelle and Maria are back to give their take on one of the most talked about topics these days – the potential changes that the current pandemic will make on the workforce. There are so many varying opinions out there on this subject, and while no one can predict exactly what’s in store, today you get to hear the enlightened opinions and advice of these two remarkably knowledgeable and experienced professionals.
Their discussion begins with observations from their own organizations, some struggles and advice surrounding working from home, and the potential effects of limited day care. They then move onto emphasizing the role that human resources professionals play in ever evolving policies and procedures, what the future workforce and workplace may look like, and they offer some valuable guidelines for working to ensure a successful re-entry. As always, our hosts finish by making recommendations regarding resources, this time looking at those which will prove beneficial to all as we move forward through this pandemic. Everyone is wondering just what the future holds for the workforce, and today’s episode offers a great deal of insight, advice, and food for thought for us all to seriously consider.
