 Practices of Adapting to the Pandemic

The first practice of adapting the organization to the Covid Pandemic is creating a more ample working space for employees to conform to the social distancing requirement (Chigara & Moyo, 2021). This practice is essential since it reduces the risk of exposing employees to the covid 19 virus. This has been witnessed in various institutions like the law courts, where most of the court proceedings with many attendants happen in open spaces outside confined courtrooms to increase aeration hence reducing chances of contracting the virus (George & Puranam, 2020). Secondly, organizational should incorporate video conferencing technology to enable employees to work from home hence reducing congestion at the workplace (Chigara & Moyo, 2021). Lastly, organizations can resort to retrenchment by laying off employees in less critical departments, thus enabling the organization to remain afloat during the challenging economic times brought about by the covid pandemic.
