How is your business adapting to the changes in our Climate and how we work........ ?
* Many Companies and Clients of mine are supporting a hybrid remote/in-office workforce
* 56% of firms increasing technology budgets and 34% planning to speed to their digital transformation as a result of Covid-19.
* Among the countries polled, the US is most likely to have increased confidence in remote working (86%), followed by the UK (80%), Germany (80%), Canada (77%) and France (75%). Also, 58% plan to change their 'work from home' policy within the next year, highlighting the need for companies to support a hybrid workforce.
A reminder from Rishi Sunak why the Eat Out scheme is important to support the Hospitality industry and your local community.
'Restaurants breathe sigh of relief as Eat Out to Help Out brings 'busiest Monday of the year' so far' - data complied for the first week of the Eat Out Scheme.
Rishi:
"It's great that so many people are enjoying our Eat Out to Help Out scheme, it's also important to remember why we introduced it in the first place.
8% of the UK's workforce – over 2.4 million people – rely on hospitality, accommodation and attractions for employment. Of this, food and beverage services (pubs, restaurants, cafes etc) account for 1.8 million jobs.
Meanwhile 1.4 million hospitality workers have been furloughed – the highest proportions of any sector - that's why it's vital we support them as we reopen the economy safely."
