Business Talk – Georgina Barrick on the post-pandemic workplace in South Africa

Georgina Barrick has 25 years of recruitment and executive search experience and is the managing director at Network Contracting Solutions – AdvTech Resourcing’s Contracting Division.

She leads a team of professional specialist contracting consultants who match clients with the best contracting talent in the industry.

In this episode of Business Talk, Barrick discusses how the pandemic has fundamentally shifted what the normal workplace looks like.

She outlines six trends that she has picked up from the new direction in which the workplace is heading, and explains how a hybrid work model has become the default approach.

Barrick cautions that in the short term, companies need to brace for a higher turnover of staff and a move towards a non-permanent workforce.
