Session 8 London / Chicago Panel Discussion: Social and Economic Impacts of the Work-From-Home Surge
Panel Discussion
17 November 2020
UTC: 3:00 PM – 4:15 PM
In the second quarter of 2020, much of the world’s office workforce transitioned to working from home. But many homes were never intended to double as workspaces; childcare takes on entirely new, daunting dimensions; and the lack of traffic into central business districts is severely damaging local economies. Many workers say they’d like to get back to the office, missing camaraderie and collaboration. Yet, in the future, it’s likely more people will work from home than before the pandemic. A panel of leading experts discusses how they’ve dealt with the work-from-home surge in their own lives and companies, and how we’ll work next.
