If we’ll look at the silver lining of the past events, we will see a few great points that the recent pandemic brought about. The prioritization of mental health in the workplace has been given utmost attention to make sure not only the employee’s quality of work but more importantly their quality of life. It has never been the case for the past years as mental health has been put under the shade for so long. Another great effect of the pandemic is the businesses’ resilience from this sudden turn of events. Businesses were put to a test to actually pivot in the quickest way possible to save what is left. It propelled business leaders to innovate and level up their technology to meet the ever-changing requirement of the industry.

Remote inspection and reporting have been the answer to this. Based on Hoar Constructions’ recent white paper, construction is a physical activity therefore safety comes first and foremost. However, additional COVID19 measures eat up at least 2% of their daily work hours.
