How our work will change after COVID?

For sure all of us will feel a change in everything we do after COVID - from how we travel to the way we work.

I talked about how what personal changes to expect, but how our work will change?

Let me share with you my ideas:

• It will be easier to work remotely. Even if most companies emphasize their collaborative way of working, during the last days we had to work from home. In some cases, there were more arrangements to do (think about how many of you had a working space with a desk at home?), but for sure from now on it will be easier to do this.
• Our work can be different. This period made us more creative or flexible in our tasks so we can accept new ways of working or just new activities.
• The job market will change. We will need more specialists in some domains and we already reduced the numbers on others because we saw that we can live without them.
• We will accept easier technology and we will reduce bureaucracy. If these days we did things without waiting for 10 signatures (because we didn’t afford to take all of them in self), probably this simplified way of working can be accepted in the future.
• We will communicate better because we learned how to do it during this period. I miss a lot of our meetings from the office, but also Zoom is ok.
• More personal development programs with a focus on employees wellbeing and mental health
• Budges will be adjusted to have more efficient investments

My personal statement after this period will be to focus more on local brands - to buy or use only products made local companies; to sustain local events or artists.
