Working from home is the new normal for many workers around the world in response of the #Covid19 pandemic. Will it last? What will this imply for workers, employers and society? The OECD Trento Centre in collaboration with the Regional Studies Association (RSA) explored these questions and more in their recent webinar, The New Reality of Teleworking: People, Firms, Places.
The webinar represented the 9th meeting of the OECD Spatial Productivity Lab and was part of the RSA’s Regions Cities Industry Webinar Series
The OECD Spatial Productivity Lab (SPL)
The OECD Spatial Productivity Lab (SPL) is a dedicated research laboratory that works with local and global partners to advance knowledge about the ways regional policy and a better understanding of spatial links can improve productivity growth and thereby the creation of better jobs and well-being.
The OECD Spatial Productivity Lab is a part of the OECD Trento Centre for Local Development, which is an integral part of the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities. The mission of the Trento Centre is to build capacities for local development in OECD member and non-member countries, working directly with policy makers at all levels of government.
