Technology and motivation of your people will make the workplace more fluid — here is how
One of the main challenges going back to the offices is that many people will not be motivated to work from the office anymore. This pandemic acted as the reckless kid in the folktale of the emperor’s new clothes, shouting that the emperor is naked and ripping the dogma that people need to be in the office to work.

The current crisis accelerated tenfold a process that was already ongoing; the workplace is becoming more fluid. People want to feel a purpose in what they do, and go back home with a sense of fulfilment; the good news is that when people are engaged, the productivity and profit of the company increases.


This benefits the company, the employee, and the people around them; it’s a win-win-win situation for our society!


Why is this important now more than ever?
Because with 800 million jobs getting displaced by Artificial Intelligence within the next 9 years, it becomes crucial for your company to leverage the human skills and the strengths of your team, so that they can be really effective and the work interaction will be much smoother.

The key considerations for returning to work revolve around the focal point of transforming the way you and your people live and work, leveraging flexibility and purpose so as to achieve better productivity, more fulfilment and higher profits.

Take this event as a great occasion to experiment and innovate now, or you would run a considerable risk of getting disrupted (again) in the next couple of years.

Do you have a strategy to face the disruption and increase your productivity?

Our company has done well over the past year, considering we had to make last-minute additions to the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to accommodate a pandemic stay-at-home order. The majority of staff transitioned to a work from home environment with little to no disruption in productivity. We do have a plan to return to the office, but only a certain amount of days per week.

This is quite interesting, and I see many companies going for a hybrid solution which - if done correctly - allows to get the best of both worlds
