Due to the situation with coronavirus in 2020, almost all large and medium-sized businesses began to work remotely and offer their services online, and logistics is switching to the "where I live, where I work"mode. If a person was looking for a job as a courier last year, they had to travel to the other end of the city. Today, vacancies give you the opportunity to work near the place where you live, work and study. Companies around the world had to rethink their office needs and switch to a remote work and project approach, which reduced significant costs in this unfavorable year for most entrepreneurs and businesspeople. But will this trend continue in 2021 and 2022? Or will some companies go back to the old way of doing business?
I also think the trend "surely will" continue, beyond the pandemic. Even if some more in-person activity will also resume. The reason I believe this is, the trend had already begun, years ago. Working remotely was already gaining popularity. Old-school managers, who traditionally opposed this, were already retiring out of the work force, reducing opposition to the remote work model.
Yes, i think that the virus Covid ll stay with us long time. Just, i want to say that starting vaccination in some states (i.e UK) give us light for a good futur. But this pandemy disclosed a limitless of health system in the world.
We all know that work will never be the same, even if we don’t yet know all the ways in which it will be different. What we can say with certainty is that the sudden shift to distributed work has provided a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine everything about how we do our jobs and how we run our companies. https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20201023-coronavirus-how-will-the-pandemic-change-the-way-we-work
From the employee perspective, the shift is massive and very consequential: people are making new choices about where they want to live and creating new expectations about flexibility, working conditions and life balance that can’t be undone. A study of 4,700 knowledge workers found the majority never want to go back to the old way of working. Only 12% want to return to full-time office work, and 72% want a hybrid remote-office model moving forward. https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20201023-coronavirus-how-will-the-pandemic-change-the-way-we-work
A recent Gartner poll showed that 48% of employees will likely work remotely at least part of the time after COVID-19 versus 30% before the pandemic. As organizations shift to more remote work operations, explore the critical competencies employees will need to collaborate digitally, and be prepared to adjust employee experience strategies. Consider whether and how to shift performance goal-setting and employee evaluations for a remote context. https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/9-future-of-work-trends-post-covid-19/
Before COVID-19, critical roles were viewed as roles with critical skills, or the capabilities an organization needed to meet its strategic goals. Now, employers are realizing that there is another category of critical roles — roles that are critical to the success of essential workflows. https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/9-future-of-work-trends-post-covid-19/
