While we are trying to recover from this tremendous crisis, businesses keep suffering. The Covid-19 outbreak is a challenge that we all have to face. It caused so much damage to the world and made all of us change in a way we probably will not fully understand how its impacted the economy till the next few years.
Eventually, this change may be for good. Who knew we could operate from home in so many aspects? Most of the businesses were probably never going to even try working from a home office environment. Now we had to. It may be tough sometimes, but there are so many things we have learned. Nobody expected us to manage this severe epidemic, but we did, and we will keep doing it. Businesses doors may have literally closed, be it is time to reopen now and we should be careful, stronger and more patient than ever, because nothing is going to be the way it was.
Consequences
For a long time, people were furloughed, thrown in a world they don’t know and understand. Working remotely may sound easy to do physically, but nobody is mentally ready for it. It is tough to stay at home all day all night. Especially with all the restrictions in addition and the lockdown itself. No matter if you are an owner, employer or employee, we all had to go through the same loses and fears and have the strongest state of mind/ mindset of all.
The change was inevitable and difficult, but it gave all of us a chance to see the world in a different way. We grew stronger, more appreciative, and most important saw the worlds we built for ourselves from aside. Now we have the chance to change what we don’t like. To become the better version of ourselves.
Working remotely eventually showed us that our working environment is whether a big part of our both professional and social life or that if we don’t feel good enough there, we have to change it. Maybe Covid-19 was not that bad for us after all?
Yes, owners and employees had to be so flexible and faced so much difficulties to keep their businesses and positions operating, but this shift, this accelerating digital transition, it seems to overtake our world. And we need time to adapt and work on ourselves.
Work could be done virtually, and it seems to be done more than expected, more than ever. This is our reality now and we have to get used to it. We try to believe everything will go back to normal, but nothing is going back, nothing is going to be the same.
There will be always that fear whether the virus is still around. It took so many victims that it will keep people afraid of not being next. That is why once reopening, businesses will have to be careful and considerate, and will have to imply regulations which will let people work with no stress and fear. That is the first step of going back to humanity and probably to the only part we can call ‘normal’ from now on.
