What Managers Need To Know As Coronavirus Expands Our Remote Workforce

There’s no question that coronavirus is going to accelerate companies’ transition to remote work. The director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is already asking businesses in the U.S. to prepare for "social distancing," including canceling in-person meetings and having employees work from home. Major corporations are recommending that their people work from home to avoid the potentially devastating impact of ill employees infecting their colleagues. According to Business Insider, “As the COVID-19 virus spreads across other parts of Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, companies like Microsoft, Hitachi and Chevron are asking their workers to work remotely as a measure against the rapidly-spreading disease.”
