IT Pro 20/20: The end of the remote work dream
Issue 20 of IT Pro 20/20 examines whether a new industry policy to pay workers based on location is likely to catch on
Welcome to issue 20 of IT Pro 20/20, distilling the most important themes of the previous month into a quick, easy-to-read package.
With the pandemic almost behind us, companies are now having to grapple with the thorny issue of returning to office work. For many, that involves choosing how much flexibility to give employees. However some organisations, across both the public and private spheres, are questioning the validity of paying all employees equally.
Recent policy announcements from major tech players like Google to cut the pay of remote workers has sparked an industry-wide conversation about the nature of flexible work, which many believe could result in a new era of discriminatory workplace policies.
The next IT Pro 20/20 will be available on 30 September – previous issues can be found here. If you would like to receive each issue in your inbox as they release, you can subscribe to our mailing list here.
