The current pandemic that the world is going through has lead to a lot of changes in the way we do things. One thing it’s changed has to do with how we work. Normally of course people would go to an office to get work done but coronavirus made that impossible. This lead to a rise in people working from home. While there was an initial adjustment period, a lot of people settled in and working from home became quite normal for them.
While the coronavirus pandemic is still in full swing, vaccine developments and a decrease in infection rates in many countries has made some see a finish line in the distance. What will become of working from home when this finish line is reached? Well, one thing to realize is that working from home was not unheard of even before the pandemic. It was actually a pretty good option both for businesses and employees. People got to work in comfort without the stress of getting dressed and enduring a stressful commute, and businesses could avoid the costs associated with running a fully stocked office since fewer people would need to access it.
It’s quite likely that working from home is going to continue. The business world is often slow to change, which is why working from home was being adopted very slowly. Now that the whole business community has been forced to normalize working from home, the benefits have become quite obvious. Since so many people have already started the practice of getting things done and since companies have managed to get a test run to see that large scale working from home can work quite well, there is no reason for things to go back to where they were. A more efficient and comfortable working environment is beneficial for everybody, and the infographic below (which comes courtesy of ComputersInTheCity) talks a little more about this.
