WORK FROM HOME Since March of 2020, when the first novel coronavirus case was identified in Jamaica, companies across the island have put in place several measures to deal with the situation. One of these measures was the introduction of a work-from-home (WFH) policy. The Business Observer sought the views of several company managers on the WFH policy. Their responses are published below. For the GraceKennedy Group, which has over 2000 employees in the region, in business segments where WFH has been used over the last 15 months, productivity increased to the point where protocols have had to be put in to ensure staff members were taking adequate rest breaks, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Don Wehby told the Business Observer . "A return to the office for those working from home will depend on the levels of full vaccination. "With the exception of manufacturing, banking, Western Union, and other critical areas requiring that staff be present, as much as 60 per cent of staff were now operating from home. "With the Government opening up the economy, what I would say is that we will approach it very carefully in terms of people being back at work. "We have been encouraging our staff to get vaccinated.
