COVID-19 lessons learned


2020 is an abnormal year. From the beginning of the year, people are like, “oh, the 2020 version is full of the virus; can we uninstall it.” And till the end of March, the dispersion of Coronavirus took an important place.

Coronavirus, more sophisticatedly known as COVID-19, has definitely changed everything around us; impacting our way of  living, countries economy, and affecting the various businesses, and the common mass of the country. Even after a long terrible period, the influence of pandemic is as it is. The bulk positive cases and death rates are steadily increasing in some countries.

COVID-19 lessons learned

Yes, it is a fact that due to this pandemic, we have lost many valuable things, including precious human life. But, another truth is, the crisis taught us significant lessons and not only fulfilled the world with adverse effects but also brought positiveness indirectly.

During this situation, it’s common to absorb negativity easily, which will affect human mental health. Let’s escape all the negativity and focus on some positive aspect that comes along with the virus.

Build Genuine Relationships

Earlier, people were busy with their daily routine, activity, and task because we gave weightage to work instead of relations. We drown in the work so deeply that we forget about the outer world and humans.

Pandemic compelled human beings to stay at home that positively impacted their relationships with their family members.

And today people are spending time with their loved ones, children, and parents and forming the same bond with friends. Hence, COVID-19 makes people realize the importance of relationships and help to rebound relationships.

Practice Better Hygiene

Practicing hygiene no longer includes good habits; it becomes an essential skill that is needed for survival. After the outbreak of COVID-19 people have become concerned about hygiene as the virus is in the air, and to avoid the virus the only solution is to maintain hygiene all around.

Indirectly it is teaching a great lesson to children with real-life examples all around. 

Wave Of Tools And Software

Every workflow has become digitized. Companies, colleges, and schools are seeking for online tools that help them to shift the whole process into the virtual form.

Before the pandemic, technology and tools were not massively paramount. But after the outbreak, the software has eventually been a crucial part.

This wave of tools and software make the people familiar with technology, and easy to adapt for future disasters.

Air Become Cleaner And Environment Became Greener

The level of pollution has diminished across the world. As a consequence of the pandemic, people are avoiding going outside.

This has minimized the use of vehicles. Moreover, the restriction is made on airlines, buses, and trains which are the major cause of pollution.

Businesses that are responsible for air, water, and land pollution have been shut down. In such a way, the air becomes pollution-free, and the environment is greener day by day.

Crime Incidents Have Reduced

Due to the fear of infection, people are maintaining distance, and consistently increasing cases become a high drop in crime rates. As per the latest report, the murder rate in South Africa compare to the last year has been a drop from 326 to 94, and it is positive news. 

Spending Quality Time With Family and Self

People with a rush routine hardly get time for themselves. Outbreak eliminates the harsh routine of human’s life for a time being.

People are at home, under quarantine with the work from home, or do not have work at all. Thus, they are blessed with enough time to spend on themselves.

People can again focus on the hobbies that they left many years before, can take care of their physical and mental health, and perform activities that they like.

During the pandemic, people are interacting with the real version of them.

Self Learning

People are experiencing the self-learning phase. We always learn something when we are around others and resolve queries soon with help of others’ knowledge.

Like students, it always depended on the teacher for learning. Now, when people are alone at home, they have to learn themselves and have to resolve their queries on their own.

Hence, this improves their self-learning ability and makes them self self-sufficient.

Many countries are still fighting the pandemic, and for sure we will win this battle soon. The only purpose of this blog is to spread some positiveness in this harsh situation and divert the mind toward the good thoughts.

The world is changing due to this pandemic. Think about the changes that we will see after the crisis. Yes, the new world is waiting for us. Are you ready for an amazing and unseen experience?

So, maintain distance physically but stay connected socially. Be healthy, be safe.

Your time is precious.

Staffing business is a numbers game. Let’s take healthcare staffing for example, throw enough resumes at a wall, hope one sticks, and call it a day. But here is the problem: companies do not hire resumes, they hire people who can perform, adapt, and thrive in a specific environment. And that’s where we step in. At Systemart, we treat healthcare staffing less like a lottery and more like a science-backed, well-seasoned recipe.

We deliver measurable results to all our healthcare clients. These numbers are never arbitrary. They are the product of lessons learned, challenges overcome, and a value proposition we steadfastly uphold and have built over the years.

Allow us to guide you through the pillars that support our journey – our backbones, that build our healthcare staffing business.

1. Extensive MSP & VMS Expertise

If healthcare staffing were a Formula 1 race, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Vendor Management Systems (VMS) would be the pit crew and dashboard – keeping everything running at lightning speed without a single screw loose.

Our team has spent years navigating complex MSP and VMS ecosystems, ensuring talent delivery is not just fast, but frictionless. According to Staffing Industry Analysts, over 65% of large corporations now use VMS solutions – and we speak that language fluently.

2. Affordable & Timely Solutions

Ever had a project delayed because your healthcare staffing partner “just needed a little more time”?

In business, “a little more time” often translates to lost revenue. We understand this urgency without cutting corners.

By leveraging our vast talent network, AI-assisted screening tools, and industry databases, we reduce hiring timelines by up to 40% while keeping costs competitive. Yes, we believe in delivering both quality and value – unlike your last takeaway order that promised “30 minutes or free” but still arrived cold.

3. Streamlined Recruitment Process

A clunky hiring process can scare away top talent faster than you can say “We will get back to you.”We use an end-to-end streamlined workflow – from requisition to onboarding – so both clients and candidates feel the process is professional, transparent, and efficient. Think of it as the express checkout lane of healthcare staffing, minus the “unexpected item in bagging area” interruptions.

4. Flexible & Adaptive healthcare staffing Options

Permanent hires, short-term contracts, seasonal surges – we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

According to a 2024 labor market report, 43% of businesses increased their use of temporary or contract workers to remain agile in unpredictable markets. Our healthcare staffing models bend without breaking, adapting to your needs whether you are scaling up or streamlining operations. You don’t change your goals and we still bring solutions to you.

5. Thorough Candidate Screening

The resume might say “team player,” but we dig deeper. Every candidate goes through multi-step evaluations – skills verification, reference checks, cultural fit assessment, and sometimes, the “Would I trust this person with my laptop?” test.

It is no wonder that over 50% of our placements get an assignment extension  with our clients beyond the initially agreed tenure.
