Life Beyond Coronavirus: The Future of Work

Описание: Australia has weathered the first wave of this pandemic, but it has come at a big economic cost, with the repercussions yet to be truly understood. And as Australians return to work, we consider some of the big questions. Who will go back to the office and when? How does Australia recover from its first recession in 29 years? Who are the winners (and losers) from the work at home experience? And just what does the manager of today need to do to adapt to the needs of tomorrow?
