The 2020 Nationwide Workplace Survey on the effect of COVID-19 would provide better planning strategies for other crisis dictated periods.
Minister for Employment, Productivity, Industrial Relations, Youth and Sports Parveen Bala Kumar said this while presenting his ministerial statement this morning in Parliament.
Mr Kumar said the survey commenced on May 13 this year and a total of 147 enumerators were engaged by the ministry for this survey.
“COVID-19 is having a catastrophic effect on Fiji’s workplaces affecting both employers and workers,” he said.
“All sectors must employ strategies to stay strong and put in place mechanisms that will place our various sectors resilient once the global economic machinery begins to move once again.”
