As the novel coronavirus pandemic continues to impact businesses across the globe, some stakeholders are indicating that remote working may very well become a semi-permanent fixture in the future of work.

Speaking at this month’s edition of the Caribbean Economic Forum held under the theme ‘The future of work is here’ Wayne Chen, president of Caribbean Employers Confederation said that calls were now being advanced for the formalisation of remote working and working from home.

“There are challenges but there are also opportunities. The pandemic has had casualties, but it has also made a lot of smart people who have jumped in and found opportunities. We just have to keep pushing that process. I think the fundamental thing is for organisations to stop focusing on inputs and [instead] start focusing on output,” he said while speaking in the virtual forum held last week.
