Monitoring work productivity is often needed to be addressed as inevitably there are those that work really well offsite and those that seem to get distracted. Discussions, scrums, team meetings and the like which would have been the norm are not occurring in the same manner and require a digital approach (Facetime, Skype, Google Hangouts etc) and this is a change in how they do things. The reality is that as an organisation, leaders may not yet be accustomed to working with staff who are not onsite. While the premise might seem simple enough, take your laptop and access your apps and email from home as long as you have an internet connection. In many cases, these are organisations that have never had to provide ‘work from home’ facilities before and may not be used to implementing such practices. Similarly, businesses small and large are sending staff home to work at a moments notice if there is even a hint of exposure to staff with COVID-19 like symptoms. It makes sense that educational organisations that have already invested in online learning have a head start but there is no doubt that online study is going to change even more than it has already. Particularly in countries like Australia where students come to study at some of our nations top institutions.Įducational institutions have been forced to accelerate their online learning programs, even if for the first of the years semester in order that students are able to commence their studies and attend later. With key messages from world health leaders to drastically reduce populated areas, students are moving even further into distance learning, with the added pressure of the government bans on travellers from overseas, international students are unable to attend universities effectively hitting one of the most profitable areas of the educational sector. Collaboration via digital technologies has been increasing exponentially with each new feature as people even in the same workspace share information, knowledge and plans in their digital workspace. Working remotely has been around for many years and the new ways of working has been consistently changing the organisational construct to enable people to work via mobile devices, VPN’s and remote workstations. While the immediate threats will likely be contained soon, like other scares before it, there is no hiding from the fact that organisations are fundamentally looking at how they work and are seeking to accelerate any ‘work from home’ strategies.

The impact on the technology industry is hitting in a big way more recently and with greater urgency as virtually every industry considers how to continue operations in a different way.
At the very least, like SARS it will be compared to future health events such as this. The impacts of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) will likely be measured for years to come.
