Title
Impact of the Global Pandemic on Accelerating
Workplace Transformation at D.Watson
Introduction
The proposition is dependent on determining the role of the global pandemic in hastening
workplace transformation in relation to Sainsbury. The activities of the group have changed
dramatically since the pandemic outbreak. Based on that we will conduct research on the impact
of the epidemic that triggered the shift in attitude inside the working conditions. The outbreak of
the pandemic has caused a shift in perspective in the activities and activities within the
association. Adjusting new trend setting innovation, representational preparation, developing
new office spaces, and integrating changes in the construction, as well as culture, are all
challenges. Furthermore, to strengthen the representatives' devotion and efficiency, as well as to
promote the organization's overall execution. 
Company background
Everyone requires cost-effective quality tools and materials to improve their health and well-
being, and D. Watson has earned a reputation as one of Pakistan's most respected and dependable
suppliers of medical equipment today. D. Watson Group is a provider of home medical and
health-related products that are designed with the user's needs in mind. Mr. Zafar Bakhtawari,
the chairman of D. Watson Group, founded the company in 1975. They offer a wide range of
allopathic and homoeopathic medicines, drugs, cosmetics, herbal products, optical products,
surgical supplies, and toiletries, both locally and imported.
Background research
According to a Deloitte assessment on the working environment's transition to a computerized
era, which focuses on advancements in the components of the working environment's biological
system. As an organization moves toward digitalization, it must accept new innovation inside the
workplace. Regardless, embracing the new transformation is posing new challenges for the
association when interacting with the representatives. In this manner, the specialist will focus
after comprehending the impact of the pandemic on hastening workplace transformation.
Aims
To comprehend the job of the worldwide pandemic towards speeding up the working
environment
change at D.Watson.
Objectives
1. To differentiate the influence of pandemics on D.Watson’s working environment change.
2. To analyze the problems encountered by D.Watson while implementing work environment
changes inside the workplace premises.
3. To identify persuasive strategies for overcoming the challenges identified by D.Watson as a
result of a shift in the working environment.
Research questions
1. Is Coronavirus responsible for Workplace Transformation at D.Watson?
2. Has D.Watson's management taken an acceptable number of efforts to achieve Workplace
Transformation during Covid-19?
3. What impact has the post-Coronavirus Workplace Transformation level had on D.Watson?
4. What is D.Watson’s Workplace Transformation level in relation to Covid-19?
5. Is Workplace Transformation vital at D.Watson?
6. Is D.Watson’s current Coronavirus Workplace Transformation going to affect its market?
Limitations
There are other constraints that might occur during the project, such as budget constraints that
can halt the progress of the study. Furthermore, time is extremely limited, and doing the study
within that time frame can be frantic, and missing the cutoff time may result in penalty.

Literature review
The researcher will break down several auxiliary assets based on the subject in the writing
survey part. The supplementary inquiry will be conducted using books, diaries, and websites.
Depending on the objectives, organization entrances and competency effort of another researcher
decided in the topic.
The Covid-the emergency has demonstrated how the associations have been working for years.
According to McKinsey (2020), associations have accelerated their digitalization in order to
cooperate with clients as well as the industrial network. Furthermore, as a result of the effects of
innovation within the working premises, internal activities have altered. Furthermore, the quick
answers and great outcomes have influenced the organization to move toward a cutting-edge
working environment. Furthermore, in order to compete in a cutthroat market and stay up with
the financial climate, it is critical to focus on innovative approaches based on market interest and
supply. (Canedo, 2017)
Because of the epidemic, customers' preferences have altered significantly. People nowadays are
increasingly inclined toward web-based purchasing and any type of internet-based architecture.
For example, bank consumers are focusing on mobile and web banking so they don't have to wait
in long lines and can work from home.
The epidemic has had a huge influence on how employees function inside the confines of the
office. The reps are having difficulties regulating the new alterations, for example, the cutting
edge arrangement and new high level mechanical approach. Furthermore, the great amount of
troubles is impeding the association's effectiveness and expressing the value on the lookout (de
Lucas Ancillo, del Val Núñez and Gavrila, 2020).
The representatives worked from home the previous year, and the firms carried out different
arrangements and conventions. However, the organization must now consider the psychological
well-being of its representatives, since there is a significant shift in the component of
telecommuting and at the workplace. Furthermore, many are inexperienced with high mechanical
sorts of equipment, which reduces their efficiency level.
The cutting-edge working environment necessitates the transformation of a massive data base
into distributed computing. Furthermore, as people become more reliant on the internet, digital
security risks are becoming more prevalent. As representatives shift to working from a distance,
the risks of digital security are becoming more apparent.

The most successful solutions for overcoming the difficulties that organizations experience
as a result of workplace transformation
Organizing the group to improve the possibility: According to Dery, Sebastian, and van der
Meulen, (I.M. Sebastian, K. Dery and der Meulen, 2017) it is critical to study each colleague's
strength and weakness, and then work on it by consolidating up close and personal encounters.
Furthermore, the pioneers must carry out the change programme through engaging with
colleagues and learning their perspectives.
Engaging in development and innovation: It matters a lot to provide prospective open doors for
representatives to provide their opinion and perspective on any topic. Furthermore, focus on
developing innovative ideas and increasing the degree of creativity to engage representatives in
the workplace (Canedo et al., 2017).
Ideas on the chosen subject's objective are further illustrated in the preceding writing survey.
However, when researching the auxiliary exploration, a few holes were discovered that would
also be involved in the investigation project.

Methodology
This section of the research proposal will introduce the appropriate tactics that will be used to
complete the test. Furthermore, this will aid the investigation in determining the most effective
outcome for the project. This research will be conducted by implementing Saunders research
onion.
Design of Research
We will choose the framework of the exploring approaches. There are two types of investigation
strategies: subjective investigation and quantitative investigation. The proposal recommends both
explorations since quantitative gives mathematically based facts and subjective presents
hypothetical research that is intriguing for this unique exploration.
Research philosophy
The type, development, and source of the knowledge required to complete the project are
determined by research rationale. There are three types of exploratory thinking, such as
authenticity, positivism, and sobriety. In light of the project's concept, both positivism and
authenticity are advised for this specific inquiry (Žukauskas, Vveinhardt and Andriukaitienė,
2018).
Research approach
The research technique defines methods as well as the designs for the inquiry that demonstrate
the board suppositions to figure out point by point assortment, comprehension, and investigation.
Both perceptive and inductive approaches can be used for this specific investigation (Newman
and Gough, 2019).
Research strategy
It refers to the game plan that guides the specialist's way of thinking. Because this examination is
not totally fixed in stone, both blended procedures and subjective research strategies will be
advised.
Research choice
This mostly includes the information gathering strategy that is expected for the project. There are
several types of knowledge gathering, including exploratory, observant, determined, and
exciting. In light of this unique investigation, both exploratory and observational methods are
advised.
Research tools and techniques
This section illustrates the tools and tactics that are also used in the primary and auxiliary
exploration strategies. The primary strategy comprises quantitative inquiry through overview,
centre gatherings, and chatting with, whereas the secondary technique relies on hypothetical
investigation from books, diaries, and arranged interviews (Alase, 2017).
Sampling
The pandemic's resurgence has made it difficult for the specialist to properly lead critical study.
As a result of the investigation, a web-based overview will be directed in which the respondents
are D.Watson’s personnel. The delegates will be picked using an erratic inspection approach.
Time horizon
The temporal skyline depicts the sequence of events that will be required to complete the project.
It explains the time frame and teaches them how to achieve the project's numerous objectives.
The longitudinal time skyline will be followed in this specific project since the project must be
completed within a certain time frame.
Ethical consideration
This is the most important part of the examination. The researcher has obtained approval from
the whole membership to direct the overview. In addition, the researcher will preserve all of the
information by applying critical places of strength for a secret term. Furthermore, the specialist
adhered to the Data Protection Act during the investigation.
Task 2
RESEARCH REPORT

Introduction
The COVID-19 pestilence eccentrically affects worldwide society, making pulverization the
worldwide economy and causing surprising alterations in each human activity. Because of the
COVID-19 pandemic, a significant degree of business exercises has been compelled to stop to
decrease individual participations in the open district. The prompt result is a diminishing in work
effectiveness. Moreover, cooperative endeavors at work and neighborhood local area coordinated
efforts are successfully sabotaged. Dealing with the board during and after the COVID-19 flare-
up has turned into an overall test. Affiliations that have guaranteed or leased office space to
complete their middle or supporting business activities have either taken drives to extend the
work space in the virtual perspective completely upheld by development, or have partaken in
making arrangements for the reappearance of the work space. These associations have focused
on adjusting their office workplace in different ways to conform to the COVID-19 prerequisites
and suit the working practice in the new standard. (COVID-19 Pandemic and Antecedents for
Digital Transformation in the Workplace: A Conceptual Framework | Open Access Macedonian
Journal of Medical Sciences, 2021))
Coronavirus has just made comprehending Workplace Transformation substantially simpler. The
disruption to daily schedules began about a long time ago, when this overall abnormality began.
Telecommuting has become the norm in the workplace as a result of the Covid-19 rules. It's
possible that this large impact in context has also had an impact on specialists' Workplace
Transformation levels. A few regions have witnessed changes in their working conditions as a
result of the execution of Coronavirus. This industry has been under a lot of stress as a
consequence of the current situation, and businesses around here have concentrated on it to
understand the success of their employees. (Avis, 2020)
Laborers are the foundation of every business, and they are the driving force behind the
association's success. Representatives complete organizational capacities, provide business
opportunities, and help to establish an organization's image by working productively with clients.
Working environment transformation is a fundamental requirement for every organization
because it is critical to complete these tasks if experts are happy. A company cannot expect to
support its effectiveness and productivity unless it guarantees Workplace Change. A meeting of
pleased professionals might help a business thrive. To be aware of the speed of business and
maximize advantages, each firm must monitor its Working Environment Transformation level.
Organizations in many fields may stay up with Workplace Transformation at a certain degree as
a result of Workplace Transformation review.
Research background
The COVID-19 pestilence appears to have afflicted the association beginning in early March
(Olokundun et al., 2021). Throughout its history, the company has had three main goals: keeping
customers and employees safe, assisting in the care of the country, and assisting social orders
and the most vulnerable people in the community (Bennett et al., 2021). The agents have
performed admirably and worked tirelessly to assist the consumers. In particular, the shop
partners, coordinated operations organization partners, suburbanites, and client Careline
workgroups have been on the cutting edge, aiding clients with having access to basic essentials
(Gabryelczyk and R., 2020). The gathered labour force has aided customers by connecting
directly with merchants to encourage purchases and transmit items as swiftly as possible through
the appropriation organization or in stores. When they are authorized, the assembled crew assists
partners by working in our stores (Ionescu et al., 2021). They are quite pleased with our
representatives' devotion, as well as their unwavering dedication and responsibility in satisfying
clients and assisting our community members throughout this amazing era.
Aim of research
To investigate the effect of worldwide epidemic on accelerating the workplace transformation at
D.Watson.
Research objectives
To understanding the viewpoints that contribute to Workplace Transformation during the
Coronavirus. To distinguishing the link between post-Coronavirus workplace features and the
organization's level of Workplace Transformation. To distinguishing the factors that motivate
workers to stay at the organization throughout the Coronavirus plague.
Research questions
The accompanying inquiries will be the focal point of this examination:
1. Is Coronavirus responsible for Workplace Transformation at D.Watson?
2. Has D.Watson's management taken an acceptable number of efforts to achieve Workplace
Transformation during Covid-19?
3. What impact has the post-Coronavirus Workplace Transformation level had on D.Watson?
4. What is D.Watson’s Workplace Transformation level in relation to Covid-19?
5. Is Workplace Transformation vital at D.Watson?
6. Is D.Watson’s current Coronavirus Workplace Transformation going to affect its market?
Limitation
There are other constraints that might occur during the project, such as budget constraints that
can halt the development of the investigation (Lee et al., 2021). Furthermore, time is quite
limited, and completing the examination within that time frame may be feverish, and missing the
cutoff time may result in penalties.
Literature Review
A cultural shift at work is the key to an organization's success. As a result, firms place a high
value on Workplace Transformation. Changes in the working environment may help an
organization's endurance. According to this survey, satisfied representatives assist organizations
persist through financial downturns and outperform those with dissatisfied experts. According to
this study, happy professionals have a higher level of confidence, which makes them more
prepared to deal with unpredictable scenarios. The findings of this study suggest that Workplace
Transformation has a positive impact on the presentation of associations (Baker and Ellis, 2020).
The degree to which a representative is focused on the organization may influence the shift in
their working environment. Coronavirus has a negative impact on many professionals' personal
and professional well-being, resulting in lower authoritative commitment (Naveed et al., 2020).
As a result of this decline, these professionals have also demonstrated a reduction in the
alteration of the working environment. As a result, associations in the region may concentrate on
representative commitment to improve their degree of Workplace Transformation, as well as
varied viewpoints (Chaudhuri, 2020).
Following the Coronavirus, there was a shift in representative attitudes, which altered the
organization's working environment. According to a focus on the subject, the fear of obtaining
Covid-19 has harmed the psychological well-being of several professionals. There have also
been reports of various types of mental disorders among employees in various organizations.
According to the review, as a result of the changing factors, businesses should adapt their
approach to dealing with representative fulfilment. Depending on the needs of the experts and
the working environment, another approach may involve assisting representatives in their
transition to a new role, assisting them in preparing to acclimate to their new workplace, or
implementing various processes (Surma et al., 2021).
The majority of Covid-19's employees presently work from home rather than in an office. This
advancement has resulted in a shift in the working environment for other workers. During the
Covid-19, computerised transformation has advanced at an alarmingly quick pace, resulting in a
more secure work environment for employees. As a result, various firms' workers' Workplace
Transformation has risen. Telecommuting is advantageous for some professionals since it allows
them to juggle their job and personal life at the same time. Many individuals see a mix of fun and
serious tasks as necessary motivation, and it has a significant impact on work contentment. There
was evidence to suggest, however, that remote work may not be suited for everyone, since it has
been proven to reduce efficiency and performance for some individuals. Another advantage of
telecommuting is that it reduces business-related stress. This study found that experts who work
from home are more likely than those who work in an office to experience company Workplace
Transformation.
Digitization has had various effects on locations in terms of outcome and innovativeness. In any
case, there isn't a single sector of the economy where digitalization isn't impacting or modifying
at least a significant portion of the producing or possibly consuming activities (Mancl et al.,
2020). Furthermore, the fundamental meaning of large business is shifting away from our initial
conception of organizations as long-term zones of rivalry. This is due to the way the digital
component of the continuous improvement drive is dissolving the boundaries between regions
(Phillips and S., 2020). Organizations are moving from one field to the next, providing novel or
revitalized incentives to clients in light of current innovation. Furthermore, specialized
corporations are shifting away from pure development, while regular organizations are becoming
increasingly specialized (Gabryelczyk and R., 2020).
Organizations are considering contemporary solutions to address social alienation and change in
line with the new normal in the current conditions brought about by the COVID-19 pestilence
(Priyono et al., 2020). There is little doubt that AI, robotics, and other technological
advancements offer enormous potential for replacing manual repetitive labor with automated.
Taking this into consideration, endeavors should be cautious that using recognizable human
skills through improvements remains difficult to imitate (Selimovi et al., 2021).
The fact is that the current circumstance is changing how individuals think about working.
People should acquire mechanical and institutional capacity, as well as mechanical capabilities,
to address difficulties and capitalize on potential results (Fletcher et al., 2020). People nowadays
should make the most of their unique professions by committing to continuous learning and
development, regardless of whether they are working on legally binding courses of action as
consultants or working for corporations. The current COVID-19 pestilence is causing
organizations to computerize their labor in order to maintain social division and change in
accordance with the current norm.
Furthermore, aside from nostalgic endeavors, people should win in areas where development
does not succeed, for example, thinking and critical thinking, creative concept, individuals the
executives, making differential decision, and mechanical inclination, while also progressing
roughly (Olokundun et al., 2021). However, innovations are supporting employees in performing
their jobs more quickly and effectively. As previously said, if advancement helps creation,
businesses will need to use as many improvements as possible.

Project management plan

Scope of research
Post-Coronavirus evaluation using appropriate scientific approaches and vital and auxiliary
information attribution is expected to identify the connected catchphrases, hazards, and concerns
in the Workplace Change process. Work environment modification in a supermarket chain is
evaluated and introduced in terms of what may happen in the existing scenario and how it might
be taken to the next level.

Methodology

Research philosophy
Research philosophy serves as the basis for each and every review, as well as the important
bearing for the examination. The absolute most widely used concentration strategies are
positivist methodology and interpretative. The goal of positivism is to arrive at a conclusion by
employing objective ways in request. Nonetheless, an interpretive worldview method of thinking
is dependent on the specialist's information, and the outcome is solely dependent on the
scientist's abstract discoveries.
The use of positivism in this study will assist the scientist in arriving at a goal result without
being swayed by personal preferences. As a result, the review's validity will be strengthened, and
its findings will be more useful.
Research Approach
Both logical and inductive techniques might be utilized in research. In logical examination, the
object is to think about the speculation in contrast to the aftereffects of past examinations. A
scientist's reason in an inductive review isn't to concocted an entirely different speculation or
end. The logical methodology will be taken on considering the exploration's capacities.
Continuing in the strides of the past examinations, this study will take a gander at the post-
Coronavirus Workplace Change situation. Furthermore, this study will require the gathering and
investigation of information inside the confined limit that this exploration procedure will give.
Research Method
A researcher may employ both quantitative and subjective research philosophies. A quantitative
procedure includes any use of quantifiable information, whereas a quantitative approach requires
the use of non-quantifiable information to make a judgement. This study's major information
investigation methodology will be a quantitative examination procedure. This methodology is
considered sound by this review from a variety of views. Information collecting will be easier,
and that is merely the tip of the iceberg in terms of financial awareness with this practice.
Information gathering and inquiry are both cost-effective when using the quantitative procedure.
However, quantitative procedures make it easier to gather information. Finally, using this
process, information collecting will be completed in about seven days, which is appropriate for
this project.
Data sources
This research will rely on both primary and secondary sources of information. A methodical
survey will be used to collect data from workers, and optional information collection will be
used. Used to inspect previous investigations Important hotspots for supplementary information
for the review will include diaries, as well as various books, papers, and various types of
academic examination papers.
Sampling method
25 members would be selected by random sampling for this review. The acceptance of an
unusual example methodology ensures that the review is conducted objectively and without bias.
The respondents for this study will be drawn at random from the ranks of D.Watson workforce.
Research questionnaire
An organized survey would be used to collect information from respondents as part of this
review. It will take into account a more precise investigation of the information, as well as make
it easier for respondents to complete the survey. The Covid-19 survey will be messaged to the
respondents, and they will respond to it via email. Email can be used to quickly and effectively
gather information from responses.

Data analysis and interpretations

The responses from 25 members are as follows:
Question # Yes No Neutral
1 23 1 1
2 21 3 1
3 18 3 4
4 8 15 2
5 8 14 3
6 19 3 3
Question#1

Q1

YES NO NEUTRAL

23 of the consultants who responded to this question have faith. Workplace Change has a
significant impact on events such as Covid-19. One was negative, while the other was neutral. As
a result, by far the majority of respondents highlight current investigations. Specialists have
demonstrated that satisfied specialists are critical to an organization's presentation in testing
situations such as Covid-19. Such specialists expend additional effort to keep things running
smoothly and to improve the overall mood in the workplace. This eventually has an impact on
authoritative execution. This project's auxiliary focus is similarly focused on a similar outcome
in terms of execution and authoritative exercises.
Question#2
 Q2

YES NO NEUTRAL

The subject of this request was whether or not a representative's post-Coronavirus Workplace
Transformation level was influenced by their association with the organization. Twenty-one
people said yes, three people said no, and one person did not respond at all. In situations like
Covid-19, the relationship between a representative and their manager is critical to the
progression of their working environment change. To maintain a positive Workplace Change,
employees go to the association for reassurance that everything is fine in the world during these
minutes. Individuals who responded emphatically also demonstrated that they believed their
affiliation with the organization had a significant impact on the change of their working
environment. As evidenced by the current writing, the conclusions of this study are consistent
with those of previous investigations.
Question#3

Q3

YES NO NEUTRAL
According to the results of this survey, 18 of the respondents stated that their post-Coronavirus
authoritative responsibility had a significant impact on their Workplace Transformation score. It
made no difference to three people, and it made no difference to four people.
It was discovered that the majority of laborers’ commitment to the association's undertaking had
a significant impact on their work execution. When a representative is not given resources in the
organization, they will be unable to take care of their best business, especially during a
pandemic. Working environment Change must be accomplished if all representatives participate
fully at the same time. If workers' commitment and Workplace Transformation are strongly
related perspectives, as demonstrated in this review, the findings of other studies in this area are
as well.

Question#4

Q4

YES NO NEUTRAL

In relation to this specific subject. During the Covid-19, 15 specialists stated that they did not
seek any psychological well-being advice from the organization; 8 representatives stated that
they did; and 2 representatives stated that they did not.
Metal wellbeing has recently become a major concern for laborers. The focus areas examined in
this research project have revealed a link between psychological well-being directing and work
Working Environment Transformation of representatives in difficult situations. 

Question#5
 Q5

YES NO NEUTRAL

Respondents were divided equitably between those who stated they had the option to work from
home beginning in Covid-19, those who stated they did not, and those who gave a nonpartisan
response to the issue.
Telecommuting has become the norm for some people, and most businesses have proactively
made the switch. Regardless, this suggests that D.Watson has not implemented a work-from-
home strategy for the majority of its employees. That could be a direct result of their work's
concept. Representatives cannot be transferred to a WFH setting if their work requires an actual
area and cannot be done remotely.
Question#6
 Q6

YES NO NEUTRAL

In this study, 19 people said that telecommuting helps them focus at work and adapt to changes
in their working environment. - Three people were against the comment, while three were
neutral.
Many people believe that telecommuting is a fantastic way to relieve some of the stress of their
jobs and increase productivity. According to research analyzed in the writing survey segment,
representatives have more control over their lives when they can telecommute. Representatives
are more satisfied with their working environment and occupation when there is a good balance
of control and opportunity. The survey results also support the conclusion, demonstrating that
firm representatives prefer to telecommute rather than work in the office currently.

Conclusion
Coronavirus has hastened mechanical change, and digitalization work is now expected to ensure
the continuation of expert, individual, and social exercises. The pestilence has an impact on job
requests, employment, and specialist skills required (Dwivedi et al., 2020). However, such
upsetting reasons have not affected everyone in the same way across nations. As a result,
digitalization presents challenges (McCarthy et al., 2021). The most noticeable improvements are
in computerized proficiency and neglecting. Generally, a portion of the world's segment requires
broadband association, causing numerous younger ages to miss out on potential outcomes.
However, in order to address digitalization issues and fully comprehend the potential outcomes
of modern innovation, organizations must be prepared to foster a comprehensive plan of action
(Yklmaz and I., 2021).
To summarize this review, it is certain that D.Watson's Workplace Transformation concerns
were clearly distinguished by an overview directed by this investigation project. This has
revealed both the organization's shortcomings and its capabilities in implementing Workplace
Change. Working environment transformation-related issues are expected to be avoided if the
organization follows the advice given.

Effectiveness of applied research methods

Cost
Surveys are accurately estimated. In general, web and computerized surveys offer an extremely
low cost per member (Dwivedi et al., 2020). Regardless of whether members are advertised
rewards, the cost per answer is frequently significantly lower than the consumption of conveying
a paper or versatile overviews, and the number of potential responses could have been in the
hundreds.
Wide-ranging
Overviews can be used to depict the highlights of a major metropolitan area (Gruia et al., 2020).
No other insightful methodology can provide this breadth of scope, ensuring a more precise
portrayal of where to foster discoveries and make key decisions.
Dependable
Members can give more honest and precise responses because overviews are mysterious.
Responders should be as honest and straightforward as possible with their responses in order to
obtain the most reliable information (Ionescu et al., 2021). Secret reviews accommodate
significantly more verifiable and direct responses than other types of strategic methodologies,
especially if it is clearly stated that the outcomes of the review will be kept confidential.

Recommendation
D.Watson should follow the suggestions below to improve its Workplace Transformation mark.
The majority of the organization's laborers were not offered any metal during the Covid-19
period. Directing Nervousness among specialists is currently harming their long-term prospects.
prosperity and the ability to meet their obligations to stay out of a situation like this. All of the
experts in D.Watson should seek metal guidance on an individual basis. D.Watson must conduct
routine audits of its workforce in order to improve. Determine their psychological well-being and
various concerns. By directing standard overviews, the company will actually want to address
the concerns of its employees and achieve an effective Workplace Change.
Every one of the specialists has had a difficult change because of the current workplace, and the
organization hasn't done much to assist them in taking action. What the company can do is
launch a training program to help workers adjust to their new surroundings, making them happier
and more productive. Representatives who have not yet been given the option of telecommuting
have begun to feel the effects of the situation and Covid-19. D.Watson has the option of rotating
its telecommuters so that everyone has an equal opportunity to telecommute. As a result of all
specialists being seen at the same level within the organization, the overall level of Workplace
Transformation will rise. Representatives at D.Watson should be compensated for their ongoing
efforts with additional monetary and non-monetary motivating forces. Covid-19 has affected
everyone, and in this case, the benefits could be extremely beneficial. D.Watson may help its
employees' workplace transformation and execution by providing them with monetary and
nonmonetary benefits. Coronavirus's negative impact on D.Watson's elaborate methodology for
Workplace Change will be avoided if these ideas are implemented.

Reflection on research
Throughout my research, I gained valuable experience. Before I could begin writing my writing
survey, I needed to do a lot of reading. Because of this methodology, I learned a lot about
previous assessments that I had not previously known about. These distributions taught me that a
review issue can be approached from a variety of perspectives, and each perspective can result in
a different but significant outcome.
When I finished this one, I needed to move on to the techniques section. In this project, I had the
option of using my knowledge of surveys, examining, and research techniques. It became clear
to me that, while these ideas were simple on the surface, their practical implementation requires
considerable thought and planning. Because of the Covid-19, I learned that a variety of
methodologies can be used to avoid problems that may arise during a review project. I came to
the conclusion that developing an investigation procedure is at the heart of every research
endeavor, and it determines its success or failure.
When I finished the review cycle, it was time to dive into the information examination. Once the
information was broken down, I realized that a review is considered finished when the outcomes
are deciphered and perceived. I had the option of using my hypothetical information to create
diagrams that would aid me in understanding during the examination. At this point, I realized
that representation provides a broad perspective on the review. To summarize, I had the option of
incorporating all of my discoveries into a conclusion as well as making a few suggestions.
Overall, this research provided me with a wealth of information, and this examination broadened
my instructive perspective. My lack of aptitude, combined with the fact that my learning was
restricted to specific areas, made it difficult for me to produce a more comprehensive result.
Regardless, I can confidently state that my exploration objectives and targets were met.
