Some would say we’ve seen it all in the past few years. A raging pandemic, economic headwinds, funding winters, several geopolitical conflicts, social revolutions, increasing climate risk, mounting pressure on digitization, the list really goes on. We live in volatile times with no clear end to the ongoing disruptions in sight. As impossible as it is to predict what the future holds, those at the helm of an organization are expected to do exactly that. But not just that.

In a short span of 2 years, the pandemic triggered innumerable, and maybe irreversible, disruptions for businesses and their workforce. People managers, business and HR leaders, all had to familiarize themselves frequently with new buzzwords to describe the great shifts taking place at work. One such term that fast became a part of corporate work vocabulary is moonlighting, the practice of engaging in dual employment—and recently, it has been drawing everyone’s attention.

Regardless of the industry, the pandemic has accelerated change with respect to remote-working and innovation across organizations.
