—————— CURRENT QUESTION – COVID-19 IN SITMA: HOW DID IT AFFECT YOU? WHAT CHALLENGES DID YOU FACE AND HOW DID YOU FACE THEM? WHAT IS THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THIS SITUATION?
As far as I’m concerned, Covid-19 has meant working both remotely and in person. For the type of activity I handle, I don’t think there has been any impact. Video calls and remote meetings already happened before the pandemic, but certainly the company had to upgrade these systems so that everyone could have them available. I think this was the most positive aspect. I believe that remote working must become a tool to be used even after the pandemic ends because, if used in the right way, it has many positive aspects, first and foremost the ecologically.
