CEOs explain the pandemic’s impact on the future of work (cnn.com)

“The shutdowns caused by the Covid-19 pandemic forced Corporate America to embark upon a massive work-from-home experiment that presented many unknowns: How do we keep workers safe? Can we stay productive? What’s the best way to communicate and collaborate? “ The new challenges are “employee burnout, a tightening labour market and the prospect of new Covid-19 variants.” And some key needs are for flexibility, transparency, accountability, trust, requiring a new social contract and a shift in mindset.

With the help of the concepts learned in this course, the students will critically analyze 3 CEO’s stories and company supported by secondary data research (peer-reviewed journals, published case-studies, company websites, google scholar – research articles, videos, newspaper/ magazine articles) to identify problems and recommend constructive improvements. Remember to not only describe what the organization is doing in each of these areas, but also to analyse how well they are doing in each area, which includes looking at how the competition might be doing. Good analysis considers both the good and the bad when looking at an organization.
