Crisis brings problems and challenges, but also new opportunities. For the businesses, it is time to re-evaluate their strategies, risk management and operational decisions. The latest crisis caused by COVID-19 has a huge impact on the business and the workforce without a doubt. From the companies all over the world, we can see that the companies that got hit the most were those with less flexible working style, missing agility in working culture, those that were less prepared to adjust operation to new reality. The latest pandemic once again showed the importance of innovations, flexibility and modernization.

While it is early to talk about the overall impact of COVID-19 on the workplace, there are some trends we can already observe today.

The first and foremost trend is an increase in remote working. WFH was pretty much an unknown abbreviation until earlier this year, while now more and more companies are announcing remote-first strategy.

Long hour meetings, that were before the subjects of the memes and critics, now slowly became the issue of the past. Meetings are becoming shorter, more efficient and hosting virtually.

Many companies were forced to work remotely, and had to adopt flexible working hours. Traditional 9-to-5 window doesn’t work and is not required, because an agile working culture focused on the results, rather than hours spent on performing some tasks, allows more flexibility and freedom.
