OBR Economic and Fiscal
Outlook, November 2020
OBR forecast presents 3 scenarios for the virus:

• ‘upside’ scenario – lockdown brings infections
  under control, rapid roll-out of effective vaccines
  enables output to return to pre-virus level late 2021

• ‘central’ scenario – restrictive public health
  measures in place until spring, slower roll out of
  vaccines, return to pre-virus levels at end of 2022

• ‘downside’ scenario – lockdown is extended,
  vaccines prove ineffective in keeping virus in
  check, lasting economic adjustment required with
  pre-virus levels at end of 2024

NB “All three assume a smooth transition to a free-
trade agreement with the EU in the new year.”

Coronavirus and the social impacts
on Great Britain: 27 November
     Shows the extent to which people’s
     decisions about working from home
     are impacted by lockdown

     Longer arrows           = lower proportion WFH
     in lockdown (more furloughed / fewer jobs where
     WFH is an option?)

     LSE report showed strong correlation between
     pre-Covid unemployment regionally and increases
     after first lockdown.

‘Management in a marathon crisis’ (or
    the new normal?)
Management transformed, CMI November 2020. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the
way we go about working has changed dramatically. Millions of people are working in new,
often ill-designed environments, or may be working in a state of anxiety, worried about their
personal wellbeing or that of their family.
• Where you work does not impact on workplace happiness or productivity.
  Management is universally important and employees' needs remain broadly the same.
• Trust is crucial to productivity in the area of COVID: the location that staff work in has little
  impact as to whether managers perceive that productivity has increased. Black employees
  are more likely than any other ethnic group to feel their manager didn't trust them to
  undertake their job role.

Considerations for HIOW employers:
• How should employers in HIOW ensure black employees feel like they are trusted in their job
  role?
• How can managers ensure greater contact with their women employees with children, as
  juggling home schooling and working may be having an impact on their wellbeing?
