Welfare of Employees is Priority
Mohamed shares that working remotely is the safest course of action during the pandemic. “While this is the safest course of action during the pandemic, it does inhibit collaborative efforts and opportunities for hands-on training,” says Mohamed. He anticipates that soon enough the drawbacks of remote working will become clearer for enterprises and they will look for ways to smooth disruptions for employees. Due to this, technologies like VR will gain popularity. Companies will be seen adopting technologies like video conferencing for smooth workflow amongst the employees.
A business cannot survive without people and taking care of their welfare is the responsibility of the leader.

It is assumed that the pandemic will leave the world with many startling challenges and life after COVID-19 will not be the same as before. Mohamed anticipates that the normal new world strategy will be implemented, and advices to change the mindsets and adapt to the new changes.
