While the world is trying to live with the consequences of the pandemic, the future of remote work is expected to experience major changes. Many professionals believe that the new normal of work will be a flexi-remote work model, which means that employees will be going to work and back home, but also work remotely from time to time by 2024. Employers will allow employees to select the environment most suitable for the kind of work they are doing and that they prefer.
Synchronous communication will become less effective with time and will be replaced by asynchronous communication that will enable teams to work across time and space. Technological innovations in VR, AR, and AI will alter remote work experiences as these technologies improve the ways of working together.
The focus on the employees’ welfare through programs that enhance work-life balance and mental health will be essential for the long-term effectiveness of remote work. It is therefore important for both businesses and employees to be flexible, obtain the right tools and adopt a culture of sharing information.
