We have seen a lot of companies changing procedures and implementing more radical ways of doing their work.
Businesses have adopted new processes and technologies—and there are signs that they may pay off in the future. The pandemic and COVID-19 era could give a rapid productivity growth after the vaccination of the global population is going to end or reach a significant percentage.
Remote working and new systems that help companies being better organized are what businesses struggled a lot to adopt in the beginning of the pandemic. Now this kind of investment is going to pay off.
My company made a huge investment in adopting systems such as remote meeting places, cloud systems that help organizing documents and a way of eliminating paperwork... I believe that this is going to increase the productivity of the employees especially if those go back to work.
Have you seen any changes in your working environment like these?
I have seen similar behaviour at my workplace. In the last 6 months management, closed down a hole floor of office space. Instead of having a fixed desk now, we switched to a more mobile version, where everyone is sharing the desk. Since most people are working from home these days, we are only 1 day per week in the office and then switch around the desks.
