    What COVID Taught Us About Wellness and Why Employers Should Do Even More

    In her column for Forbes, BCG’s Deborah Lovich continues her mission to convince organizations to use the COVID-19 crisis to change the way we work. Citing BCG survey data, she argues that companies need to act urgently—particularly in response to the great number of women leaving the labor force due to struggles with working from home—by focusing on employee well-being and the necessity of childcare assistance. Lovich says, “it’s time for [companies] to recognize that they should have been doing this all along and look for ways to step it up even further.”

    Shift to Electric Vehicles Accelerates

    In an AP News article syndicated by nearly 150 other media outlets, BCG’s Aakash Arora and Nathan Niese discuss the findings of their BCG study on electric vehicle adoption. The transportation industry is a major producer of CO2 emissions, so EV adoption will be crucial for President Biden’s goal of cutting US emissions in half by 2030. But the transition isn’t occurring fast enough to meet that goal. The BCG data shows that while EV sales are projected to rise from 12% of the global market in 2020 to 47% in 2025, “if half of new cars sold around the world in 2035 are zero-emission vehicles, 70% of the vehicles on roads will still be burning gasoline or diesel.”

    Hurry, Time is Running Out to Lock in the Benefits of Remote Work

    In her column for Forbes, BCG’s Deborah Lovich asks business leaders a big question: “Do we really want to go back?” Instead of downplaying some of the new and improved ways of working today, she suggests leaders should be looking at the benefits of remote work to catapult their organizations forward. Lovich proposes three questions leaders should be asking as the pandemic slows and workers return to the office.

Wind could provide up to 61GW of potential installed capacity, up from 0.1GW today.
