Virtual Work, Lockdown and Challenges - What To Do.
We're in a very sensitive time, the world, and what we make out of this period will depend on our ability to identify opportunities amid problems.
It is no longer news that Nigeria has joined the Covid19 battle; the confirmed cases are growing geometrically, there are lockdowns in major states, and we are all (except a few) working from home.
While firms have adopted collaborative tools like Zoom, Microsoft Team, Trello, Kanbanshi etc, to keep their employees up while at home, activities are relatively muted.
The concomitant effect is that there's more time for people to engage in extra activities. This has been confirmed through the social platforms where people had designed various challenges for others to be part of. Navigate yourself to Twitter and Instagram for evidences.
As social beings, these actions are not condemned. However, it is also necessary for us to see this period as a time to close our knowledge gap and build additional capacities which can increase our earning potentials.
The kind of challenges that we need to add into our schedules should include completing online courses and relevant books for example.
Because, when the world resumes, those with capacities will be needed to rebuild the economy.
