DTI Community Roundtables: COVID-19 and the Transformation of Work
COVID-19 has fundamentally altered how we work and even how we understand the jobs that we do.
A lot has been discussed in terms of emergency responses and crisis management, but it is now clear that in many respects the old days are gone for good, and it is time to make decisions for the long term.
As we move forward, Members are looking to find the balance between what worked before, what has been learnt during the crisis, and what will need to happen to succeed in the future. An open discussion of the COVID crisis and its long-term impact on ‘the future of work’, as well as the approaches and thinking of EBU peers took place on Thursday 29 October.
Issues that were discussed:
- How to organize for a permanently distributed workforce?
- What are the impacts on people, infrastructure, technology or processes?
- How do we measure the ‘success’ of WFH?
- What are Members thinking about the reallocation of resources and infrastructure investment?
Featured Organizations and Speakers:
CBC (Canada): Findings and Implications for the Future of Work
