Teleworking allowed 7 out of 10 companies to continue operating in the face of the pandemic

The company PwC carried out a survey on the measures applied by the companies in the event of the Covid-19 emergency, and it turned out that 68% who applied telework had no impact on their operations. 30% affirmed having suffered a medium affectation and 2% affirmed having suffered a high affectation. The study also revealed that a segment of over 40% moved more than 60% of its employees to work from home and only 22% applied telework to less than 20% of their staff. In turn, more than half of the respondents who applied said labor measure do not even know when they will return to the offices and are waiting for the Ministry of Health to rule on the subject.
