Reimagining Work After COVID-19. We Offer Some Possible Future Scenarios
The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the idea that you cannot separate human concerns from technological advances. When organizations have looked at adapting their ways of working in response to the crisis, they have found that, in many parts of the world, technology is not the biggest challenge. In those countries where technology has been a great challenge, the crisis has highlighted the digital divide that exists in rural communities. In countries where technology is available, one of the biggest barriers has been building models that can integrate humans with these technologies, as this involves creating new habits and practices to meet human needs, such as the desire for meaning, connection and well-being at work.
This crisis presents a unique opportunity for organizations to overcome the instinct to treat humans and machines in the same way and build connections instead that can reinforce a path which will nurture both growth and innovation in the post-COVID-19 period.
Studies from big companies, such as Deloitte, McKinsey and Gartner, predict that companies will have the chance to reshape and rebuild the structure of work. Let’s take a look at some of these possible future scenarios!
