Round-table: how Covid-19 is changing jobs

Join us for a round-table discussion about how Covid-19 is changing work.

The pandemic has had a dramatic impact on jobs.  At times, nearly half the workforce worked from home and a quarter of the workforce was on furlough.  As the economy recovers, there are reports of acute recruitment difficulties, soaring wages and a shift away from the office. Whether you’re an employer or a worker or workers’ representative, these trends will have a lasting effect.

We’re delighted to be joined by two expert guest speakers – Shavanah Taj, General Secretary of the Wales TUC and David Hagendyk, Director for Wales at the Learning and Work Institute.

This event is exclusively for employees of organisations which are Bevan Foundation subscribers. Please log in to the website (using the button at the top right of your screen) to find out more and to register.
