The role of the administrative professional has changed a lot over the last year as a result of COVID-19.

With many working from home since the start of the corona virus pandemic in 2020, video conferencing platforms like ZOOM have become a very popular form of communicating with each other whether it’d be at work or school.

With many still working from home as a result of COVID-19, in-person meetings have been replaced with video conferencing.

With a second lockdown in some Ontario cities and continued social distancing restrictions, people are feeling lonelier than ever, especially with the holidays just around the corner.

This year has been particularly tough on employees amid the corona virus pandemic.

The start of the new year signifies a time of reflection, changes, and improvement. Many people think about setting personal goals in January like eating healthier, having more appreciation, or reading more. But what about setting goals at your company or organization?

There’s no doubt the human resource industry has changed as a result of the pandemic. Entire processes like onboarding and training have changed in order to adapt to a remote environment.

Onboarding is an important step for both the employer and employee during the hiring process.

In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) included burnout in the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as an occupational phenomenon.

There’s no doubt the pandemic has left a lot of people without work.
