How has the pandemic changed the way we work?

TALKING EUROPE © FRANCE 24

Around the world, people have had to change how they work because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Some of those changes look set to become permanent. What could all this mean for European employers, employees and work-life balance? We take a closer look with two MEPs.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the way we work. Working from home has become mandatory for many employees and in some European countries, ideas like a four-day work week are being trialled.

Catherine Nicholson is joined by an Irish MEP and an Italian MEP to discuss these topics.
