COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND THE READINESS OF THE EMPLOYERS IN GEORGIA

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has posed a major challenge to the entire world. Even for the countries with big economics this challenge turned out to be hard to overcome. The “paused” world tried to fight against the most inexplicable economic crisis with the use of digital technologies. The era of digital technology development is a period of limitless possibilities for modern managers. Managing a company easily and efficiently is already unthinkable without information technology and digital platforms maintaining competitiveness in the market, relieving employees from routine tasks, optimizing processes, taking care of development - these are the minimum requirements, that are difficult to achieve in modern conditions without technological progress. The issue of information security and integration of modern technologies, in the management process, during the COVID-19 pandemic, became even more urgent and vital for some organizations, as many of them had to work remotely for quite a long time during the entire period. Every good project manager knows that one of the main tools for effectively developing a team and completing a project with the best results is fast and quality communication. To ensure this, companies use platforms where employees can centrally and transparently communicate with each other and monitor the progress of the work process. In the conditions of switching to remote work mode, it has become a daily necessity to hold meetings, trainings, conferences and lectures or lessons online, therefore, it is important to select programs tailored to the specifics of our activity, which are specially designed for this purpose. In this case, Georgia turned out to be quite ready, too. Within just couple of days the country managed to organize the transition of the state as well as private sector to the remote working mode, and got the 2nd place among the top 50 countries, where remote working is the most convenient and comfortable
