$14000000.00 people each month and a 3rd of people are vaccinated and health officials are hoping to not right 70 percent by april tamya chantry has moved from dakota. it is making a major effort to do so. so far. 29 percent of the population has been vaccinated in a major dr. address in 20000000 bar vaccine last week from through unit several rather under the cold ledger men, bangladesh dealership, so 400000000 dosage of vaccine, also under bilateral ag remainder, derisive baxon from other sources. but the united states in china has gifted a 1000000 doses of vaccines to bangladesh and recent times. now the government is fearful of the new via ryan. so he just started a major drive at campaigned rather to vaccinate about 40000000 people by january this. yes. at least 6 people have been killed up to heavy rains triggered floods in oman. strong winds and flooding began on thursday and the storm is expected to

continue until wednesday. people are being warned to stay away from dangerous areas . a large fire has broken out at south africans parliament building in cape town. columns of smoke could be seen blowing from its worth. flames have also spread to the national assembly building, but the minister of public works says phi cruz had the situation under control. a funeral has been held for south african archbishop desmond tutu. he's been described as a crusader in the struggle for freedom and justice. equality and peace. and protests have been held in cities across a rock to mock me only 2 years since the assassination of senior iranian general got some sala mining. it was killed in the u. s. drones strike in baghdad. along with the leader of the iranian back to popular mobilization forces, those are the headlines i'm emily ang, when the news continues here, after inside story we understand the differences and

similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter what lucy, al jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you, al jazeera, coven 19 has changed the way we work. restrictions have forced people to operate from home instead of the office, but millions are also now quitting their jobs in what dubbed the great resignation, so will 2020 to be a turning point for labor relations. this is inside story. ah hello and welcome to the program, my mamma, jim jerome for 2 years now because of the pandemic, many of us have had to change the way we work. working from home is becoming the

norm. as people avoid crowded transport systems and offices, even some journalists producing this program are operating remotely. and with the i'm a chron variance spreading fast, more governments are encouraging, so called hybrid worked. for example, france has told people to work from home at least 3 days a week, if they can. it's a further challenge to work. life balance surveys found people are working up to 3 hours more a day than before. the pandemic. in some cities, companies have decided to rent less office space, or redesign them to allow more social distancing between employees. many commercial offices want to shrink the footprint they have. debt is leases terms is far, workspace goes, expand the open space, the amenities space in the offices. so there's more room for, for flow. so people aren't up of each other. while some can work from home,

people in the health care and hospitality industry is don't have that option as locked downs, forced shops and restaurants to close. employees went for months without pay other essential workers including couriers and warehouse staff or eat for e commerce giant, such as amazon often work without sick pay or medical insurance. the pandemic has led to what some have dubbed the great resignation. millions of employees unhappy with their jobs quit to pursue roles with better work life balance. in the u. s. a . record 4400000 people resigned in september, and a survey of 6000 british workers found a quarter of them want to change employers within 3 to 6 months. job vacancies are at record highs and many industrialized nations with companies struggling to hire and retain staff. ah. all right, for more on all this, i'm joined by our guests from belmont, california, dave car, heart vice president at lattice

a people management software company that helps employees identify track and manage their own career paths in san juan, puerto rico shannon lists riordan, a labor law attorney at the firm, linkedin and lis riordan, p c. and in tokyo, casey wall ceo and co founder of attuned dot a i a recruiting platform that uses artificial intelligence to understand what motivates employees a warm welcome to you all. and thanks for joining us today on inside story shannon, let me start with you. we know that the pandemic has transformed the workplace. for many, we know that there are millions of workers out there who have achieved more flexibility by being able to work remotely from home. but i want to ask you about those workers who aren't able to work from home. i'm talking about gig workers, i'm talking about essential workers. how has all this impacted them? well, yes, that hand any has really exacerbated by between the haves and have nots. you might

say there are a lot of people who have gained flexibility from being able to work wherever, whenever i and there are a lot of people out there who have the luxury of working no ha, essential workers. edward ers grocery store workers and hospital workers who had to be impersonating themselves at breasts. and it's just, it's been a very flat time for, for a lot of people. and good worker isn't particular it's, it's interesting. there been huge battles going on across united states across the world. and about kid worker is having protections as employees and the argument that's been made as well, they have a flexibility. so how could they be employees that we've seen workers across the world get flexibility and there's, and it's still hot, basic wifi employees. so i think, i think a lot of people come to realize that contradiction and come to realize how important these workers have been just to, just to keep our society down. dave,

when it comes to working during a pandemic and especially working remotely, what lessons have been learned so far? yeah, so i think what we've seen is that there's, there's huge benefits for, for companies where they are able to enable remote and hybrid work. you can open up the talent pools that you have access to, you're able to provide employees with a lot more flexibility. we also learned that there's big challenges and that can be in building and community in collaborators and communication norms. and in a sense of sometimes employees not being able to disconnect and have a balance between work and life. and so 2022 is, is when employers will really need to figure out how to make this all work and in practice for a large portion of the workforce, particularly office based work hybrid and virtual work isn't going away. and so

you need to figure out how to make all of those things work in practice to be able to get those benefits. was dealing with some of the challenges that come along with it. casey, how much has the pandemic lead people around the world to rethink and re evaluate their relationship with work and more specifically with their jobs? it's certainly been the great reassessments. we've been in lockdown, you know, for white collar. busy workers been at home type of thing, and now 2 years into it, people have really looks inside themselves, right? and their values. why am i doing the jobs here that i'm committed to beforehand as a good work or as where the company type of thing like that and what we've seen in our data. so what we actually do is we measure people's intrinsic motivation at work. we can show and display that. we've seen a huge shift and actually what measures people. ringback across the world,

so the values that are driving people, my, they're choosing their jobs, why they're choosing those companies have shifted. and it's been different because there's kind of individual perspectives of the, this is like a fingerprint with intrinsic motivations. but we've been seeing across like surprising need for more rationality, more logical explanations from their employers, from a kind of a reason for making the policies that they're doing for from the side as well. so i think we're still starting to see the 1st parts of the followed and people making different choices that align more with their values towards work from now, shannon you spoke before about the pandemic creating this growing divide between different types of workers. and we also know that workers' rights advocates around the world have been demanding better paying better working conditions, especially during the pandemic for laborers. i want to ask you specifically about a case in the u. s. amazon reached a settlement with the national labor relations board in 6 cases,

and that's going to help pave the way for workers to unionize going forward. so i want to ask you, are we going to see more cases like this going forward and are we going to see more workers get a seat at the table? well, that's one possible overlying we have here is that workers have sounding in rates. and they've had greater ability to leverage that need for their services war than we have seen in a long time and say you're seeing workers and all types of industries demand better working conditions. man, better pay at the same time because of our new administration here in the united states, there was a greater focus now on workers rights to this is converging together. we have a national labor relations board who is more aggressive about ensuring that workers have the ability to come together and demand better working conditions. and that

less economic conditions now in which we're is really need to please is, is reading or a lot of workers much better pay and opportunities for making demands on their workplace, making them better with their needs and their last dave, this remote work experiment that so many of us around the world have been a part of since the beginning of the pandemic. i mean, even, even on this program, we have some of the journalists we work with that are working from home. how much has it actually transformed the workplace? i think a huge amount we recently did a survey of more than 700 h r professionals and roughly 60 percent of them said that in 2022 they would be in their organizations having some type of hybrid work. and in general, a significantly larger amount, then they had pre coven facts,

everything from how you keep different teams aligned with each other, to how you communicate to how you information traveled through an organization and how you work together. so it's, it's having really profound impact and i don't think that will get it all right. as, as we go into it and, you know, setting policy is a 1st step. but it's going to take a number of years of experimentation to really figure this out. it's something that we've certainly seen internally at lattice, as we've moved into a hybrid workplace, that it really takes. it really takes work to figure out how to make this work in practice. we've had decades of figuring out how to make a purely office based environment working. it's going to take time to figure out how to make that work in a hybrid work. work environment. casey, you talked before about this idea of

a great reassessment taking place and there's been a lot of reporting on what's been dubbed the great resignation. people frustrated with their jobs, especially during the pandemic and really just moving on to other things, quitting their jobs. i want to ask you, are there really that many workers that are quitting their jobs, or is it just that there are more people who actually want to quit now? and is this all pandemic linked? certainly, i don't think it's pandemic link day. i mean, the pandemic gave us, in some ways, an opportunity to reassess the way we're spending a huge amount of our non family, non private lives where we go out in the workforce, right. if you're at home, you're at home, you don't have changing environment type of thing like that. and a lot of what they was kind of mentioning some of the cracks. i companies are still adjusting with how to work really remote work and hybrid work in the cracks that those companies had are becoming more and parents. so, you know, if you're working with

a manager that your value system didn't align with that you didn't feel psychologically safe and to raise your opinion type of thing like that. you didn't feel connected to your team before. those are only exacerbated. so i think what we're seeing is people getting, having time to understand without being able to go. busy out to all the entertainment, all the different things that usually take up our energy. and they've been able to reflect. and it's this reflection where people are starting to understand more about themselves, what really makes them happy and what they need out of work. and starting to make choices. so i think this is going to continue to play out for years. and the companies that can be more agile and meet the needs of each individual. not just on scope, but each individual will be able to retain people more and keep them more engaged should be more agile to, to kind of meet the features of the organization that don't are really going to struggle. shannon, i know you touched on this a bit in your, in your answer a few minutes ago, but, but i'm curious, get your point of view also on this great resignation. i mean, if this does,

as casey said, continue to play out, you know, for the next several years, is this going to be something really ends up having the power to bring about change? yes, i mean we're seeing so many changes happening and we're only just starting to get a glimpse of what it's really means for a future related point that i do want to note is that a lot of people out there resigning are people who have responsibilities or or care, or children, or elder relatives and those responsibilities more often on women than men. so a lot of the people you're seeing leaving the workforce now. it's not all by choice . sure. there are a lot of people who are reevaluating what they want in life. what they want out of their work lives and they are taking time to choose different options. and there are a lot of people who don't really have a lot of choices. and you're seeing women leaving the workforce in much greater numbers and madness. and that you've seen for

a long time. so another issue that we're going to need to be facing as a society in the years. what do you about this gender divided that has been created? and a lot of the women who are leaving the workforce are going to fall behind in their rears. and what are we going to do to try to set it back on track, have made so many advances in the workplace of the past decades. and this could be a significant setback for women and shannon if i could just follow up with you. i mean, what from your perspective can be done to actually rectify this? well, i mean there's, there is a lot of work that employers need to do, like other panelists just mention that employers are going to need to meet employees where they need to be sure. it's one thing to be flexible to let people work wherever they want. but what are you going to do about work are going to be able that are not going to be able to carry on with their full time schedules or

need to balance different in the workplace case. and it's not going to set them back in a promotion. so i just, i think a lot of sensitivity, those need by employers realizing that in the long run it's in their interest to keep their best workers and their best talent and in their workplace gets hewed away from many of the women who have been keeping companies in, in firms a quote and doing so well over the years they're, they're going to really need attention these issues in addition to the pay equity issues. which about civil for a long time. this is just making the need for a family leave to be even more start as well as even greater recognition for the needs of working and working on dave, i saw you nodding along quite a bit of what shannon was saying there. did you want to jump in? yeah, i completely agree. i think that 1st,

hybrid work and flexibility on virtual and remote options is certainly one of the things that organizations can do. that opens up the, the ability to recruit and to bring in as broad and diverse as possible, a group of employees. and we know that that's one of the things that helps make organizations and culture is more successful. is that diversity? and i think to shanice point around the pay and benefits of the coming year and all of these different challenges that we're seeing, the tight labor markets, the move to hybrid work, all of the additional employee power and leverage that is happening right now is really going to create a shift in compensation and benefits and so i think it organizations need to be looking at that right now. how do you both benchmark and set pay in

a fair and equitable way? and also, how do you take a look at the benefits that you have and whether that's including paid family leave, which many organizations still now have, are, or also looking at other benefits time off. so, but articles, we just introduced a new sabbatical policy here within lattice as well as additional 6 additional company holidays. precisely because in a hybrid world, we're finding such a challenge with employees disconnecting and being able to take time off of all of that. employers will need a reassessment coming year. and casey, when it comes to the psychological aspect of all this in the psychological impact of what the pandemic has done when it comes to the traditional workspace. you know, there is an argument that's been made by some out there that says that office space is when it comes to certain types of jobs aren't actually needed anymore. what do you say to that? it's needed for some people, for sure. i think office space is, are important for certain things and it's almost kind of like we need as an

employer, myself and running a company myself and also working with our customers. they're thinking about it. how can we make this kind of a different place? it's not home, it's not the office as we know it, but it's somewhere with a different function that we're going to. it's where we bring people together. those teams that got siloed. busy you know, during the pandemic and they don't have that cross talk is more so they can sit next to each other. busy you know, speak to somebody, they don't usually speak to get that empathy, understand the customer, understand the product a little bit better. so it's facilitating these different types of interactions and bringing people together. is it once a month visit every 3 months or every 6 months, each organization is to figure that out? but i think the purpose where, you know, it's not everybody has a desk or stack of paper type of thing and this is your. busy it is needs to shift and especially for kind of office workers on that side of it. but on the psychological aspect, not everybody needs it. there's and what we see, there's about 10 percent that absolutely need it. and they want to go to work and

we'll see another 10 percent. i don't want it. and this is across the range of data that we have. casey, let me also follow up with you on another point. when it, when we're talking about the psychological impact again, about all of this, i mean, what does it do to workers when they get used to working from home? and then they're told me to come back to the office perhaps, or some type of hybrid work or maybe full time. and then there's another variant of the, of the corona virus and then they need to go back home again. i mean, what kind of an impact is that half it's rough, i think in general, most people do not like change and do not erase it. so this goes back to that need that we saw shifting across peoples, you know, desire and motivation for work is rationality. they want logical explanation. so, you know, if a company is going to go to hybrid work and they're going to move away from it or, or kind of shift the days, they need clear expressions and they need to give that opportunity for feedback. so voices can be heard that it's not just

a decision. another part of the decision making process type of thing. like if it's locked down or government related, well ok, the government needs to explain kind of properly there. and the organization needs to do the best that they can to kind of support that. so i think, you know, on the employer side of things, it's how clearly can you communicate and how early and how inclusive can you make those decision making processes. shannon, the international labor organization says that the coven, $900.00 pandemic, has exacerbated inequalities and pushed millions of people into poverty. do you think that we're going to see more governments around the world move to expand social protections and to invest and job growth? i think it's absolutely. ringback a dire need and i do think there is greater recognition among the public about the needs of wage workers. they've been much more visible to so many people during the day i'm at work, people been locked in our homes. so many people rely on delivery workers to bring

groceries bring them meals from restaurants to bring them packages, the things they would have usually gone to the store and bought. and i think that that disability, this was a hidden workforce, i think, is going to increase the pressure or greater protections and right for the workers and that combined with the need for workers. now i, i am hopeful that is going to lead to significant games for worker protections and work right. and in the, in the coming years. but it is a rush. it is a rough patch we're going through. there are different ways that this is a different part of the workforce. right? yeah. but i think in the end, the need for having these workers, the available to do what we need to do to carry on is going to give them

leverage to get better protection and better. right. so i am hopeful dave, how disruptive has this time been to modern business history and what are some of the biggest challenges the businesses are going to be facing in 2022 from your vantage point? yeah, so it's been an enormous disruption to what you asked about before the the, the waves of co good walk downs than they come off changing policies. that's been a huge disruption. and now with so many people reassessing their options, type labor markets. a lot of organizations are seeing rising attrition and challenges both retaining and recruiting employees. obviously there's a lot of organizations that are also on the winning side of that equation. and when the employees are, are quitting and resigning and choosing to go somewhere else there's,

there's organizations that are providing the flexibility or responding to some of those different motivators or needs that people are expressing. and so that's definitely shifting the workplace and the market right now. think looking at $22022.00 companies will need to figure out what this hybrid work means in practice about how they really not only separate policy but really enable the right communication, collaboration, community in their organizations. and again, really rework their, their compensation and benefits strategy to respond to those changes in the market . casey, we only have about a minute. let me just ask you for those who are thinking of quitting their jobs or who have quit their jobs. how worried are they that they are going to be able to find a new job? i mean, how much is that concern playing into the decision making from what you've seen? it's a massive changing a job is one of the most stressful and high anxiety things people do in their life

and there's information disparity. they don't know what's out there. they can see a brand of a company, but they don't know the team. they don't know the manager and you know, people join companies and join visions, but they leave managers and it's very hard to understand what am i actually getting myself into, even if they can find it there. so it's tremendous amount of anxiety. and i think what we can do as hers is trying to reduce that create more transparency, more openness about, okay, this is actually what you're walking into and what you will receive and not just trying to fill a seed type of thing. all right, well we have run out of time, so we're gonna have to leave the conversation there. thank you so much. all of our guest, dave car hard, shannon lease reardon and casey wall and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com, and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. you can also, during the conversation on twitter, our handle is at ha, inside stored from him,

how much am driven the whole team here play for now? ah, 2020 the year of luck, downs, and social distance saying he can't reach across the screen and get someone ali re explore is one of the global pandemic. biggest side effects loneliness. everyone who lives alone has been forced to be socially isolated for the 1st time ever highlighting its effects on physical and mental health and discovery. unique ways of coping. controlling, being alone to get that episode to of all hail the locked down on al jazeera african stories from african perspectives. most of them are never bought. one of them has not been a good machine because of the voice of the machine. i feel like in, i mean it's short documentary spike effort. fill made case from kenya. he raised

almost ident, dial into something that he's about and ivory coast colors. i live here and scrap yet and model africa direct on al jazeera woolen, half a 1000000 booster. shots were administered in the u. k. in just one day, fall short of the 1000000 a day. the government's aiming for the race to reinforce immunity is gathering pace . it's the extraordinary infectiousness of the oma con variant, though, which is really worrying global scientists and health experts. in the u. k. m, a kron cases, and now doubling every 2 days. and with more than 200000 possibly infected every day, the number could pass a 1000000 within a week. long queues again at vaccinations, centers up and down the u. k. of the government's booster job program continues apace. the dialogue about facing the politicians on that side of the river is whether the jobs alone will be enough to slow the progress of the arm across

variance. so we have to look at what we can do to slow leak problems, advice when it comes to deciding which options to reduce the infection rate. the advice from the w h o, do it all? oh, mask mandates and vaccination drives. as governments across the world grapple with surgeon coven 19 cases? ah, no, i am emily. ang, when this is algae, 0 live from jo house. i coming up a large fire breaks out at south africa parliament building in cape town. at least 6 people are killed as intense rain triggers. flash floods in our minds and recovering mexico's last treasures ancient artifacts. i heading home,

centuries after day, was stolen in governments around the world are grappling with how to control surgeon cases of the corona virus. the health system in australia most popular states, new south wells, has been pushed to its limits. more than a 1000 people with the virus are currently being treated in hospital. in england, secondary students will have to wear masks when schools reopen after the christmas break. a daily record of more than 162000 cases was recorded in the u. k. on saturday, largely driven by the army con variance, and in bangladesh campaign has been launched to vaccinate $40000000.00 people each month. it's hoping to inoculate 70 percent of the population by april can be a challenge. it has more on that vaccination drive from docker. 29 percent of the

population has been vaccinated in a major. dr. had received $20000000.00 vaccine last week from through unit several rather under the cold regimen bangladesh. reship. so for a 100000000 dosage of vaccine. also under bilateral agreement, iterative vaccine from other sources. but the united states in china has gifted a 1000000 doses of vaccines to bangladesh and recent times. now the government is fearful of the new via ryan. so he just started a major drive, a campaigned rather, to vaccinate about 40000000 people by january this year. not the concierge major line, though it is slowed down little bit, but in every hospital and clinic center, that is a drive. it wants to take it to the ward level in a rural areas. the target is the gum and said is to vaccinate 80 percent of the population by the june this year now to some major challenge in the supply chain, getting it from the manufacturer to the recipient arms. but it is willing to take

the challenge. it feels like it has adequate amount of vaccine. it even started to have a booster dose for senior citizen, about 60 and for the front line workers. now it also started to vaccinate children from 12 to 17 years old, mostly call the school student. that program started from october in these training stated new south wales and 93 percent of people. over the age of 16 had released have received at least 2 doses of the vaccine, but it's still struggling to cope with case numbers. sarah clark has moved from new sy in queensland, victoria, which is the 2nd 2nd largest dice. it also recorded plot big numbers in the 172 new cases and trade this and the decrease in delhi tie. somebody says, christmas, having said that, the test, the numbers of also coincide with that drop, we had most testing centered across a bit choice shop. they said we'd use the high temperatures,

we would strain degree. and that also was a case where we had some testing since close, and therefore it was a drop in the south wells numbers the previous days. we've had 20 to 23000 cases where i'm in queens that we've had the highest number of daily testing for some time, 3587. and i should note that that is because there are so many people traveling across the board. and in the last few weeks with a claim that has opened in order to travel to the same hundreds of thousands of people across the board. busy to come here, we expect to see that number here in claims and to continue to ride. as a result, and on a side note, the a striding prime minister potentially exposed to a positive type. last wednesday, he said at the moment more he symptoms, but there was a press conference held at his home into billy as a result that have now concerned one of the people attending that press conference has tested positive. the philippine government is tightening restrictions in the

capital laughter a spike in coven 19 cases last week. starting monday in person classes, contact sports and live performances will be banned in manila, cinemas, restaurants, and other commercial businesses will also have restrict you capacity. nearly 3000 people tested positive for the virus on friday and 133 side to the us, the new york and washington d. c. r. again, the epi centers of america code 19 outbreak recording the highest number of daily infections to date. 2022 began with more than 45000 people in your testing positive . nationally there was 647000 new cases. that health officials say the number of fatalities in falling, even though cases have gone up. i 60 percent uganda ease reopening. however, after one of the strict is locked downs in the world, schools will start up again after being closed community 2 years. and a night time curfew is expected to be listed as victoria gave me reports. the end

of the look down means children in uganda will once again get to experience one of the most important parts of their lives. education schools, there have been closed since march 2020. shortly after the 1st case of coven 19 was confirmed on the african continent. some classes reopened in february last year, but shut down again 4 months later as the country faced a surgeon infections. analysts say the last 2 years have had a devastating effect on children and young people wise girls had you're me and closed will this long is a question that bond lives. nobody can ask even begun to self convert. it's been completely, there has been a huge increase in a child exploits molestations. ah, but ziegler leads in a greg lucy's or across the country reported on the been she had cases also, child marriages, balls, disclose,

and cinemas are also due to open up in the coming weeks. much to the relief of people who work in the countries entertainment industry a wasted way too long to like we're scared of it and tons of the nozzles on them. but yeah, absolutely. we're ready to live with. doesn't look like it's about to go away. ugandans. i've suffered a lot in the pastry us rather than get ye me nice. i'm quite of misdirecting will stay open. you gander, impose some of the most strict and lengthy rules in the world to contain the virus . since the pandemic began, it's reported a 137000 cases of corona virus, and more than 3000 deaths. the president says a high vaccination rate means it's now safe for the country to reopen. but during his public address, he added that some measures could be reinstated, it cases rise steadily, victoria gate and be al jazeera to other world news. now a large fire has broken out at south africa, pelham,
