Recommendation

The COVID pandemic’s lockdowns compromised companies globally. The world of business had to continue, so people began to work from home and set their own schedules. Employees loved these new arrangements. Remote work became many people’s preference, and teams began to function as remote or hybrid collectives. An ad hoc solution that began as a response to an emergency is now how business gets done. Brian Elliott, Sheela Subramanian and Helen Kupp explore how companies can manage this new world of work with flexibility and effectiveness. They advocate continuing collaboration between employers and employees post pandemic, and show how flexible teamwork can prevail.

Take-Aways

  • Traditional office work is obsolete.
  • Former measures of productivity are no longer effective – and never worked well anyway.
  • Follow seven steps to retrofit your company for the new future of work.

    My favorite line in the entire article is: "Top managers create trust, establish clarity and help their employees, in the office or remotely, achieve their potential."

    COVID at one side caused restriction on the movement of the people but on the other side opened new opportunities and new ways of working . Organizations are taking lessons from COVID period and adjsut their work methodology. This summary has nicely mentioned different aspects of future work.
