Sample Solution
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a unique set of challenges for organizational leaders around the world. Businesses have had to deal with sudden shifts in customer demand and supply, as well as an unprecedented level of uncertainty. This has led many organizations to rethink their approach towards corporate culture and behavior in order to remain competitive and navigate the difficult economic environment that this crisis has created. One example is how some companies are now offering more flexible working arrangements such as remote work or staggered days off for employees who would otherwise be unable to commute due to the lockdown restrictions (Champoux 2011). Other changes implemented by organizations during this time include increased communication between staff members through virtual meetings, reallocation of resources from nonessential departments so they can better focus on core services that customers need most, and stronger emphasis on employee health & safety protocols.
