The COVID-19 crisis has led to major, unprecedented changes in UK working practice. While many on them might be temporary, some effects are likely to prove long lasting. These changes in working patterns and the new opportunities and threats that come along with them, are examined in this publication by Patrick Briône. He analyses how new working patterns – such as a huge increase in remote working– require new approaches towards management and that employers need to pay more attention to their workers’ physical and mental health than ever before. Patrick Briône warns that the crisis poses a risk that the that the Good Work agenda of recent years falls by the wayside under the pressure of mounting unemployment, but also identifies opportunities to reflect on what kind of work we should be valuing in the modern economy.
