GUEST OPINION by Andy Searle, CEO, Business Process Enabling South Africa:  As Australian companies wrestle with the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, many are realising that old ways of operating are no longer an effective approach.

The US has announced fresh curbs on H-1B visas, with the Department of Homeland Security unveiling what it described as an interim final rule "to protect US workers, restore integrity to the H-1B program and better guarantee that H-1B petitions are approved only for qualified beneficiaries and petitioners".

An American executive order on H-1B visas will only hit US firms badly, as it will prevent intra-company transfers by Indians who are working for American banks, automobile companies and pharmaceutical firms, the head of Tata Consultancy Services, India's biggest outsourcing company, has warned.
