As countries attempt to control the Covid-19 outbreak, businesses are adjusting to new ways of working and to emerging strategies in people management.
As different cohorts of employees are working from home, operating in the workplace in adherence with Covid-secure guidelines, or dealing with the repercussions of having an actual or potential infection, every aspect of workforce management is changing.

With a uniquely challenging economic outlook, it is paramount that employers adapt with efficiency and reliability. Return-to-work plans differ not only from nation to nation, but company to company – leaving HR professionals scratching their heads.

- Strategies to onboard new starters remotely and tips how to make it work
- How to retain staff in the new normal – would a stronger focus on skills development close the gap?
