COVID-19 PANDEMIC-FUTURE OF WORK AND WORKING FROM HOME PHILOSOPHY
Following the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) pandemic, both public and private sectors have put in place a number of measures, including those affecting workplaces, to fight the spread of the disease. The world of work is severely affected during this crisis, therefore, all sections of society including businesses, employers and social partners must play a role in order to protect workers, their families and society at large. The nature and extent of the restrictions and lockdown milestones, such as on suspension of non-essential activities, differ between service providers and different sectors , but a substantial proportion of workers either have to work from home, or if their work cannot be performed at a distance, they stay at home often under an income replacement arrangement. Drawing from this experience, various organisations have decided to restructure their workforce work routine which necessitate my curiosity to ponder and its application in the Nigerian context as it affects working from home philosophy.
