Synopsis:

Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, it's almost a cliché to say that it has changed the world. The pandemic has left a lasting imprint on the world economy, causing permanent changes and teaching important lessons. The world must emerge more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable. The developing world was not on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) before the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has pushed millions into extreme poverty and has shrunk government resources available for development. Meeting the SDGs will therefore require extraordinary efforts. Organisations are looking into the implementation of organizational sustainability (OS) in achieving three-dimensional sustainability goals (i.e. economic, social, and environmental). The pandemic has also accelerated and transformed the way we work dramatically, leveraging the proliferation of technology. Technological disruption has displaced occupations, shifted tasks, and created demand for new skills and talent pools to drive exponential growth as we move into the post-pandemic era.
