It has been a year since the pandemic hit and disrupted people’s daily routines, especially when it comes to facing work.
Employees were forced to shift to the unconventional way of doing their jobs, with the implementation of remote work being the biggest change. This sudden movement has posed a number of issues, from logistics and access to technology to finding motivation at work.
But despite the challenges the working population faces, employers are striving to embrace this change by lifting their employees up, so that they don’t just survive, but also thrive in these uncertain times.

Employers who will not allow their employees to work without getting the COVID-19 vaccine will face penalties, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, March 3, Bello said employers could be sanctioned with administrative penalties by the government for implementing a no vaccine, no work policy. It is not legal for employers to require the employee to be vaccinated [against COVID-19] before they can enter the workplace. There s no legal basis for that, Bello said.
The labor chief s statement comes as unions warned against an emerging policy among private firms not allowing their employees to go to work without immunization against COVID-19.
