The Future World Of Work

Back in April, we put together an "eight-point plan" for businesses to use when considering their strategy planning for the future world of work.  At the time, we noted that businesses would be considering what their "exit strategy" in a post-furlough world should be. As it turned out, the furlough scheme was to be extended for a full 12 month period – and many employers continue to make use of the scheme.  We felt then, as we do now, that it is worth remembering that there are positives which can be taken from the changes which were forced upon us back in March.  Businesses across every industry have had to adapt in significant ways – and whilst there are likely to be hard decisions to be taken in the near future, there are also many lessons to be learned from this.  We should all therefore be considering which aspects of these new ways of working we want to (and should) take forward.
