@CPOInnovation WFH may stay even after the pandemic scare fades.WFH is a “trial run on a big scale” and a “silver lining in the whole calamity”. Employers and employees benefit from WFH even in normal times.

@CPOInnovation Some research papers have highlighted the fact that a rise in productivity has been observed while experimenting the work from home as employees normally prefer to avoid long commutes and develop better work life balances.

[Abhijit Sarkar @Abhijit_30]

@CPOInnovation However, there is a lot of work to do to prepare for an expanded permanent work-from-home workforce.Employees will need more support,there will need to bring lot of changes in IT.

[Abhijit Sarkar @Abhijit_30]

@CPOInnovation We will see a bigger swath of companies break the old way of doing things."The big driver will be employers looking to control costs .There may be a push for many companies to say, we don't need this anymore. Getting employees to work from home can help cut  costs.

@CPOInnovation The  virus could, well, be a gamechanger and shift the narrative to embracing a new work culture that is anchored in global connectivity. While such developments are welcome during a pandemic of this scale,  companies are also reorienting their workforce for new learnings.

[Abhijit Sarkar @Abhijit_30]

@CPOInnovation Since, it is difficult to gauge how long this epidemic will last, it is important to be prepared for all scenarios.

[Abhijit Sarkar @Abhijit_30]

@CPOInnovation Considering the market is changing every week, it is imperative to reconsider the business model and reassess where your business stands as per your assumptions concerning the revenue and cost. This is also a crucial time to track current financial metrics and cash flow.

[Abhijit Sarkar @Abhijit_30]

@CPOInnovation Companies should consider establishing pandemic-specific policies and procedures, capabilities for employee communications, telecommuting and personal/family leave to minimize disruptions.

[Abhijit Sarkar @Abhijit_30]

@CPOInnovation Companies must incorporate pandemic planning considerations into existing resilience management activities to provide a comprehensive response and to provide continuity for their most critical products and services.
