As we continue in the grips of COVID-19, and as employers and employees come to terms with new ways of working, how will business respond? Will we see the end of certain ways of working? Will the pandemic change the workplace for the long-term? How should leaders navigate their teams successfully through this period? With greater reliance on technology, how does this impact “wellbeing” and mental health concerns in both the workplace and beyond. Bruce Daisley and Torin Douglas examine the long-term impact on the careers and development of workers and what hiring (and erm, dismissing) looks like in this new world. And what is to be done, longer-term, to make working lives happier, less stressful and more fulfilling for all?
