Q: I have read a number of articles predicting that a large number of jobs, possibly in the order of 1 out of 5 or more, will remain work at home after a vaccine is developed for COVID. If companies learn to manage "work at home" employees efficiently in North America, then it seems only a matter of time before these companies start transitioning their workforces to less expensive labour, employees who "work at home" from low cost countries. Do you agree with this hypothesis? If you do, it would seem to me that international HR firms will be in high demand, to assist firms to source skilled labour in low cost countries. Which firms do you see as being able to benefit from this possible trend? At the moment, it seems to me that the market is focussing mainly on the high tech beneficiaries of these trends.

Thank you for your excellent service, and thoughtful insights.
