NOEMI LARDIZABAL-DADO
My column on the future of work (Feb. 9, 2020) concluded that “it’s people, not technology, that would decide the future of work.” Work from home and telecommuting are flexible working arrangements used interchangeably with remote work. The Covid-19 (coronavirus Disease 2019) outbreak has far-reaching implications to the future of work. My husband and I watched a webcast by Willis Towers Watson on considerations for employers on the Covid-19 outbreak. There are immediate-term, short-term, medium to long-term implications. Immobility and interruptions on supply chains are an immediate impact.
