Trust issues between workers and their bosses and lack of supervision are among worries that managers expressed as the hiccup in the implementation of remote working. "Whichever way you look at it, Conavirus has disrupted the workplace," adds Corporate Staffing Services managing partner Perminus Wainaina. Only 21 per cent said their work falls in the essential services category meaning the staff must be present at work. According to Wainaina, the secret lies in continual training of both employees and employers to ensure a smooth transition to remote working. The survey found out that only a fifth of the respondents had such a plan, at 21.4 per cent or 69 of the respondents.
