COVID-19 has forced an abrupt shift to remote and new ways of work, and many have learned the hard way that organisational agility is critical for survival. In response, organisations have adopted flexible and collaborative approaches to keep the lights on and the business moving forward. But will this innovative and proactive culture continue once the crisis has passed?
“Build a team that can respond to whatever challenge is thrown at them, and you’ll be well-placed to weather any industry disruption.”
The COVID-19 crisis has brought about overnight change and disruption to the world of work. Of course, some of these changes were bubbling away in the background in the pre-crisis world, but these have now been accelerated, alongside a multitude of completely new changes. Employers, therefore are increasingly looking for professionals who have the soft skills required to succeed in the face of constant new challenges.
In just a few short months, the world of work has undergone significant change. Teams that worked closely together in one physical location now operate remotely and are learning how to adapt to the changing needs of their customers while doing so.
