EmployAbility Pathways

Covid-19 is forcing economies and companies to speed their digital transformation to meet the sudden boom in home working and online shopping. The crisis is also driving expansion of artificial intelligence and automatisation. With new online tools like video conferences now in wide-use, global business trips are set to decline post-crisis, with a significant knock on effect on jobs in administrative support, events, travel and transport. An increase in temporary and part-time jobs is forecast, with little stability and benefits as companies become reluctant to return to full-time employment models.

Word for the week: Teleworking.

Teleworking means working from home or remotely using modern technology and telecommunications to remain in touch with your employer or business. It allows individuals to work either at home, a local cafe with WiFi, or at a local telework center for one or more days each week, or full time. Teleworking is also called Telecommuting or Remote working. Now you Know :-)
