The impact of COVID-19 has been felt far and wide; across industries, the global pandemic has pushed companies to temporarily shut their offices and shift to remote working. In particular, the hospitality industry had been hit hard and fast, with many employees placed on furlough or being laid off. For others, their job descriptions changed overnight from front desk agent to part-front desk agent, part-housekeeper, and part-hygiene officer . While the long-term impacts of COVID-19 on the workplace remain unclear, perhaps one thing is for sure - the exact same pre-pandemic work environment is no more. In a webinar with EHL, Shelley Perkins, Chief Talent and Culture Officer of the Rosewood Hotel Group, shares some of her thoughts on the impacts of COVID-19 on the workplace and how the future of work may look like.
