CXO Insight Middle East - November 2020

इस अंक में

In the GCC, large sections of the economy have re-opened, and employees have started going back to offices, especially in governments and traditional industries such as oil and gas. Be that as it may, many employees in the private sector have not gone back to their everyday workplaces, and it looks almost certain that the work from home trend is here to stay with companies looking at a hybrid model in the post-pandemic future. A recent survey from the global recruitment agency Robert Half reveals that most people in the UAE want to work from home, in at least a partial capacity, if full-time is not entirely possible. This is pretty much in line with the trends we see in the rest of the world, and employees expect flexibility from employers. This has enormous implications for IT organisations, which were tasked with switching the workforce into remote work model almost overnight when the whole world went into lockdown.
