(Not Limited to)
- Environment
Reduced Emission

- Reduced usage of road transport including Public transport as a result of schools, universities and several corporates enabling their students and/or staff to study and/or work from home.

- Minimized wastage as result of risk of reduction in supplies. Existing supplies are managed and utilized carefully
- Possible reduced focus and conflicts over political issues

- More time with family in most cases!
- Opportunity to reset priorities on what matters and only what matters whether at work or at home
- Test of situational leadership and resilience at every level…be it Governmental, Organizational or Personal.
