Knowledge is departing businesses at an alarming rate

The ongoing loss of jobs across almost all sectors is alarming. Employees who have been the backbone of businesses success are finding themselves cast out.

You've all seen the story of an airline pilot now working in a supermarket or some similar incredible situation.

For those still in work, probably working 3 days a week on 150% more projects than pre COVID-19 it can be equally stressful. Trying to get internal stakeholders to deliver on business critical projects having lost a major chunk of intellectual expertise with the retrenched team members.

We are more accepting of working from home. We have used and adapted to video conferencing (MS Teams, Zoom etc.). We enjoy the extra family time rather than the commuting grind.

A new world is dawning for many businesses. The NEED to travel will be greatly reduced.

We are also seeing the gig economy forcing its way into businesses. Firstly what is the gig economy - The gig economy gets its name from each piece of work being akin to an individual 'gig' – although, such work can fall under multiple names.
