Managing operations in the “new normal”
Famous historian and a professor, Yuval Noah Harari, said, Yuval Noah Harari, said,
"Emergencies fast-forward historical processes and decisions that in normal times could take years of deliberation."
COVID-19 is one such emergency, which has pushed organizations across the globe to adapt to a new style of working. While they were already struggling to embrace diversity and inclusion in the workforce, they suddenly had to adapt to a new challenge – with very little notice – remote workforce.
Most organizations acted swiftly in enabling work-from-home (WFH) policies for their employees. Almost overnight, WFH became the “New Normal.” Millions of workers across the globe started telecommuting, a practice which was fairly sparse in pre-COVID times. While this new normal provides flexibility, improves work-life balance for employees, and saves facilities management costs for organizations, it also presents new challenges for organizational leaders.
Light-touch supervision, flexible work schedules and potential distractions, all part of the new WFH model, tend to keep operations managers awake at night. In fact, many employees and managers have never worked from home, creating unforeseen difficulties in maintaining pre-COVID service levels, employee engagement and business alignment.
