The Future Of Work Post COVID-19 Pandemic
Around half of the world’s population is on lockdown in an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19, a public health emergency that has claimed thousands of lives and sparked fears of the worst global recession since the Great Depression. Staying home has a profound impact on the world of work, as well as our mental and physical well-being.
If you are currently in a job or are looking forward to resuming work after the pandemic, know that the nature of work will be vastly different over the next couple of years.
Leaders could take the opportunity to give their employees more control and, discover that they can trust them to manage their schedules. Meanwhile, organizations as a whole may embrace home working and continue to experiment with different ways of working after the crisis is over.
Let us dwell into some of the ways Labh Group is planning to adopt for the likely changes in work life after the pandemic is over.
Work-From-Home Will Be The New Norm
Companies across the globe have started adapting to the new lifestyle of work-from-home. Until a vaccine is developed, Coronavirus is going to stay in some form or the other and so will work from home, at least for jobs where it is possible. The number of people allowed inside the office is going to reduce for sure.
Your employer is likely to provide you with better work from home infrastructure, laptops, a reliable internet connection, microphones and backup. The idea would be to invest more in work from home set up.
Latest Technology Will Redefine Workplace
Companies will start using the latest technology tools that will allow teams to work collaboratively from remote locations. Cloud computing will get a healthy boost as it gives an organization the power to access files virtually from anywhere in the world.
Most of us are already used to video meetings. This would become the new norm as teams will require to work from home. At the same time, there is likely to be more investment in security, so that data and information are not compromised.
Offices will also depend more on technology and have touchless and voice-based entry and exit systems so that employees are at a lesser chance of being infected.
Your Workplace Is Likely To Have A New Look
With more people working from home, the need for real estate will decrease. However, new social distancing norms are likely to be in place for employees who have to go to the office. You can also expect your office to sanitize more frequently.
The cramped cubicles we are so used to might make way for spaced-out workspaces. Be prepared to sit at some distance from your colleagues when you have a meeting. Even co-working spaces that work on the concept of shared desks and amenities would lead to more isolated and private places.
Employers Might Become More Supportive
With teams working remotely, employers will have to provide you support for a work from home environment. Human resource departments would have to keep coming up with new ways to boost the morale and productivity of workers. Companies are even likely to provide telehealth consultations. Even counseling sessions may be offered to keep employees in good spirits.
At Labh Group we encourage healthy and open communication frequently between all our teams. This provides a moral support to all our team members and help them go through these difficult times.
How Labh Group is tackling the crisis
In this challenging time of crisis, Labh Group has always remained a step ahead. Being an early adopter of the work from home policy, we were able to overcome the turbulence caused by the sudden lockdown easily. Our robust infrastructure build on cloud computing tools allow us to collaborate and even manage work remotely.
Our values of being employee-centric have enabled us to take good care of our entire Team Labh. Supporting our teams through these tough times has been our primary goal.
We still do not know how the pandemic is going to pan out. However, one thing is for sure; work life will never be the same again. Let’s gear up for a change!
