Working Method and Covid-19

It is increasingly obvious that the need to apply social distance begins to impose itself as a way of life and work, now and especially after the crisis caused by Covid-19 (regardless of whether we are keeping a distance of 1, 2 or even 3 meters between people).

Defining the negative impact of non-compliance with the application of social distance in companies is simple: sickness and absenteeism that contribute to lower productivity (throughput & contribution productivity).

In this context, it is obvious that the working methods of companies have to be redesigned, at least in certain areas of companies, so as to respect both the need for social distance and the need to maintain or increase productivity (without investments in new equipment/robots) and regardless of the type of industry (services, manufacturing and assembly, processing, logistics, etc.).

So, do you think there is a need for innovative redesign of the working method in companies? Do you think that this can be done before resuming activities after the medical crisis to mitigate the negative effects of the obvious economic crisis?
