The business world has been on the front line in experiencing a startling blow from a global pandemic, COVID-19. The unsettling effects of this unexpected shift in operations, sales and business continuity plans has impacted small and big enterprises alike.

The remote-working culture brought in by a global pandemic has made it inevitable for the organizations to settle for virtual business all around. While the health concerns are on a constant rise, the profound impact of the pandemic on the professional world continues to make headline news.

Few such major happenings have been:

  • Mass Unemployment  The current pandemic has triggered a ‘once-in-a-century level’ mass unemployment situation across all industries and global locations. As of April 2020, US had an overall unemployment rate of 14.7%, an astounding 308% rise from April 2019 levels of 3.6%
  • Digital Adoption of Cloud Technologies Owing to the sudden upsurge in virtual business operations, cloud-based collaboration tools like Google Meet, Zoom and Teams have witnessed a massive surge in implementation and use. Corporate investments in cloud technology implementations is expected to continue, with an enhanced emphasis on cloud end-point security.
  • Analyst-Level Roles at High Risk for Automation  A recent survey on 200 companies, conducted by Draup, revealed that 65% of the companies believe that the ‘Analyst-level’ are at a much higher risk of automation. 40% of the total companies are aggressively trying to upskill ‘Analyst-level’ employees but continue to express the need for external assistance in reskilling opportunities identification.
  • Ineffective Talent Management Systems  Most organizations today have largely invested in complex talent management systems, but these systems are being used for limited functionalities of employee onboarding, short-term goals tracking, employee collaboration, and feedback. In the Post-COVID era, companies need to rethink their talent strategy in order to gain any digital competitive advantage.

Effectively combating the charted challenges requires organizations to focus on developing Individual Employees Skills Database, Future Skills Roadmap, Reskilling Opportunities Identification, and Internal Opportunities.
