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.
