Will companies operate as they were operating in the pre-COVID-19 era? Will everything get back to normal post-COVID-19? There are many such questions in our minds. Amid the pandemic, many companies changed their policies, procedures, and communication to adapt to this new environment. As cases are declining, companies are preparing to get back to normal. However, it will be hard to operate as before; there will be many things that will change.
Business travel will reduce
The last few months made companies understand that they can conduct business meetings, training, and conferences from office spaces over communication apps like Zoom, Skype. At times, in-person meetings will be necessary. Companies will still look to cut on business travel as it will seem like an unnecessary expense to them.
Flexible working hours
The COVID-19 pandemic has taught companies that working at any time is feasible. They got to know that flexible timing is more profitable as employees are giving more output. It is even beneficial for employees as they can maintain their work-life balance. Being in a win-win situation, companies will consider flexible timing for the future. Many companies in the Philippines have posted openings for home-based BPO jobs on JobYoDA that offer flexible timings.
Medical screening in the office
Medical screening while entering the office will become a new norm. Delivery companies that were operating from workplaces amid the pandemic had this norm for all the employees. All companies might have to mandate it. Employees will be allowed to enter offices only after getting antibody and temperature tests.
More contract jobs
Companies will look for temporary employees over full-time employees. It will give them the flexibility of commitment. Companies affected by the pandemic will be cautious in hiring full-time employees.
More home-based jobs
The pandemic taught companies that employees can work from home and be more productive than before. Many companies are shifting to work from home setup. They have even posted openings for home-based jobs. On www.JobYoDA.com, you can check many home-based call center jobs in the Philippines.
