Lessons from Covid-19 pandemic: WFH is more, programmed, says Zia Mody

The new work life

Earlier, a large part of my day included meeting clients in relation to different aspects: strategy, fire-fighting, business development, et cetera. Now, the crisis meetings are on Zoom but strategic meetings have taken a backseat. Most of my time is now directed towards making sure that all the duct points are well-coordinated, the teams stay motivated and the uncertainty of it all is managed properly.

I started with some yoga and walking but that petered out. I spend a lot of time on my home office desk now, but maybe I’ll go back to those initial habits.
