Pandemic Winners Struggle Harder in the Post-Pandemic World


Zoom Video Communications, the company that won great amount of recognition during the early days of the pandemic, reported better-than-expected results for its first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2023. With total revenue of $1.11 billion and enterprise revenue of $630 million in the first quarter, Zoom raised its full-year guidance as well, expecting around 2 percent revenue growth for the year ending January 31, 2024. That is indeed a far cry from the growth numbers it posted during the pandemic years, as the working-from-home requirements come to an end and rigid competition from Microsoft Teams, Cisco’s Webex and Salesforce’s Slack have brought the former pandemic high-flyer down to earth.

Airbnb Bookings Rise Past Pre-Pandemic High in 2022

 

Airbnb bookings were seen to be cut by more than 40 percent due to the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020, but were seen to bounce back remarkably well in 2021 and 2022. Driven by the strong uptick in international travel in 2022, Airbnb received bookings more than double compared to 2020 and last year, as the number of nights and experiences booked through the platform surpassed its pre-pandemic extreme. Viewing the gross booking value, Airbnb's performance in 2022 was even more impressive as it exceeded 2019 levels by more than 66 percent, all thanks to average daily rates that were considerably higher last year than they were in 2019.

LinkedIn has started a new conversation around the changing work environment and people’s adjustments to the new ‘work from home’ setting, through its latest promotional campaign.

 

LinkedIn is examining the changes in work environment and is giving people a chance to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns regarding the new shift. As stated by the company, “It’s a change in not just how we work, but why we work and a shift in how people are making work, work for them. With this comes a change in how the world is defining what being “professional” really means - and we want to hear what it means to you.”

 

The company has released an ad of the campaign that talks about “what being professional is” and shows how different people in their career have been professional in ways that have become the new norm of professionalism, ever since the pandemic. The company is also working on additional ways of promoting the campaign through different media, so it can spread the stories and messages of people in relation to it.

Nursing Homes are Still Facing a Staffing Crisis Due to COVID

At the beginning of 2020, nursing homes employed 3.38 million Americans and nursing home staff had been on the increase for a whole decade. However, even prior to the pandemic, nursing home staff was retiring at a faster rate than new recruits were coming in. 


Since the pandemic began, nursing homes have been faced with one crisis after another and have been hit hard by the virus itself, but also by all the extra stresses for everything the virus has brought into play in our “new normal.” Today, 99% of nursing homes are facing a staffing shortage, and the crisis is only going to increase if it’s not addressed quickly.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Central Pharmacies

When you think of what a pharmacy is, you probably think about the local drugstore down the street, or a busy street corner of your favorite pharmacy chain. That’s fine for when it comes to an individual or family that needs to pick up regular prescriptions, but when it comes to the more sophisticated and urgent needs of a hospital system, it’s a whole new ball game.

Share of world’s population fully-jabbed against Covid-19

US President Joe Biden has aimed a goal for around 70 percent of the world’s population to get vaccinated fully against the deadly Covid-19 virus by the end of the coming year i.e., 2022. At the moment, more than half of Biden’s goal share of the population i.e., 45 percent have been fully vaccinated against the virus.

It has been a year since the very first person received the very first official dose of the Covid-19 vaccine outside of the clinical trials, the world still has to go a long way in order to reach the target. The uneven rollout of Covid-19 vaccines in different parts of the world is a major cause impacting the vaccination rate in the country.

That is why the share of the population vaccinated around the world is also uneven. As shown in the infographic below, South America has the highest share of the population fully vaccinated i.e., 60 percent. Followed closely by Europe and Oceania with 59 percent and 56 percent of their population fully jabbed.

From Fast Food to Heat-to-Eat, Breakfast is Still Our Favorite

Our nation is not the same since the COVID pandemic. So many things we’ve taken for granted in the past have been turned upside down. Grocery stores and fast food restaurants are still closing earlier than usual, and the pandemic has even affected that staple in our society; the American breakfast. 


Americans love breakfast foods, and certainly not just at breakfast time. We’ll eat them at any time of the day. While roughly the same number of people consumed breakfast pre and post pandemic we’ve actually increased our consumption during the pandemic. Of course eggs, bacon, waffles, and pancakes can all be seen as comfort foods, and we’ve had no lack of need for comfort since COVID swept across the globe.

Simple ways to improve your employer branding approach

One of the most devastating impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic includes unemployment. Several companies had to reduce their workforce by more than 50 percent which resulted in the unemployment of millions of people. This not only caused major disruption in various sectors but also provoked many individuals to reassess their careers.

In the wake of crises, along with reassessing their careers, people are also changing their perspectives about life. Because of these combined factors, many have labeled it “The Great Resignation” or “The Great Reshuffle”.
