Impact of COVID-19:
The COVID-19 outbreak is causing widespread concern and economic hardships for consumers and business communities across the globe. As the governments make significant interventions in response to the pandemic, businesses are rapidly adjusting to the changing needs of their employees, customers, and suppliers, while navigating the financial and operational challenges.
Throughout January and February, a majority of the companies continued their business operations on-premises. However, March saw the industry take strict action to promote work from home, in sync with government advisories, to keep the working personnel safe, thereby accelerating the adoption of the remote working culture.
The outbreak of the pandemic has caused a slowdown in the business, which might lead to recession and reduced IT spending. Furthermore, it also caused many of the locations to close down their doors leading to an increase in the national unemployment rate. According to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the increase in the unemployment rate during the COVID-19 pandemic is the most massive over-the-month increase in the rate since January 1975.
For businesses that are still operating, there is plenty of stress as they are coping with difficult situations such as:
- Operating from remote locations
- Confirmation of business continuity and employee productivity
- Protection of front-line employees who may still need to come into the workplace.
The small and medium-sized enterprises and the non-IT companies in India are some of the most affected during the pandemic due to the lack of knowledge and awareness related to collaboration and communication tools.

However, the interest in workforce management solutions is expected to increase as a few corporate giants are planning to continue this work from home trend even after the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have reduced.
