The impact of coronavirus on businesses and workers: Written evidence submitted by Haddy Jallow, Dr Suresh Renukappa, Dr Subashini Suresh, and Nisha Shetty, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Wolverhampton (COV0174)
Abstract
COVID-9 has changed the way in which the whole world has been working and has forced the implementation of Working from Home. Industry 4.0 strategies and applications have aided in this change, as we are mainly dependent on technology in order to be working efficiently and to be able to carry on being productive. Despite working from home creating productivity and efficiency in the way in which we work, mental health and well-being of the public has had an impact as families with children or people living alone resulting in social isolation. The UK went into Lockdown during the last week of March 2020 where the rules involved everyone one to be homebound and only leave for essential trips. These rules introduced came with a lot of uncertainty, as COVID-19 is an uncertain virus, this has made these rules be in unknown territory as is it unclear as to when the pandemic will be over. This has forced organisations worldwide to think about the future of their working ways with the factoring of the mental health and wellbeing of their workers with this change in the way we work.Citation
