Necessity is the mother of invention — this has been proven in the Covid-19<\/a> pandemic, which forced multiple nations into lockdowns to protect their citizens. This meant massive disruptions to our work life as we knew it — attending physical office became impossible. Yet, the rapidity with which the world responded — America saw work from home<\/a> (WFH) employees growing from under seven percent of its work force to over 45% in mid-2020 — has been revolutionary. Digital technology empowered this transition, and remote work<\/a>’s benefits have only grown.
Employees appreciate its flexibility — a study found 88% Indian employees prefer work from home<\/a> — and companies see rising productivity. The model, adopted in stress and swiftness, has in fact worked out so well that post-pandemic too, the World Economic Forum<\/a> finds, employers are ready to give at least 44% of employees work from anywhere<\/a> (WFA<\/a>) options.
Such remote working is the next logical step in a globalised world, its flexibility easing international collaborations and expanding global talent pools. Remote work is also an equaliser, contoured not by our location but by internet quality.
Most remarkably, work from anywhere<\/a> has the power to reshape old understandings of work, employees and companies now connecting in meetings of the mind and fusions of creativity, rather than the previous approach of physical attendance, hierarchical communication and hours spent within office buildings.
However, this has potential drawbacks too. It highlights the plight of those who don’t have such flexibility, including frontline professionals and many in manufacturing and service industries.
It accentuates the double shift women face, managing both official and domestic responsibilities. Such drawbacks could entrench inequalities. Yet, as ET Evoke<\/a>’s global experts emphasise, with awareness — managers, for instance, should be sensitive to promotion biases against remote work — such drawbacks can be successfully navigated. Technology will aid this journey, with innovations like hologram glasses, adding data to all you see, available soon. Even the loneliness many employees feel working remotely could be addressed by augmented reality, bringing people virtually together.
Join ET Evoke<\/a> on an exploration of the future of work, which has begun, with millions making history, quietly from a home office.

工作在任何地方:未来已经开始
从任何地方工作有能力重塑老对工作的理解,员工和公司现在连接在会议上的思想和创造力的融合,而不是以前的方法物理出席,分层通信和办公大楼内的时间。

这样的远程工作是下一个合乎逻辑的步骤在一个全球化的世界,其灵活性宽松的国际合作和扩大全球人才池。远程工作也是一个扳平比分,波状外形的不是我们的位置,而是网络质量。
最值得注意的是,在任何地方工作有权重塑老对工作的理解,员工和公司现在连接在会议上的思想和创造力的融合,而不是以前的方法物理出席,分层通信和办公大楼内的时间。
然而,这也有潜在缺陷。它突出的困境的人没有这样的灵活性,包括一线专业人士和许多制造业和服务业。
它凸显了女性面临的双重转变,管理国内官员和责任。这些缺点可以巩固不平等。然而,正如等唤起的全球专家强调,意识——经理,例如,应该敏感推广偏见对远程工作——这样的缺点可以顺利地。与创新技术将帮助这旅程,像全息图的眼镜,将数据添加到所有可用你看,很快。即使孤独许多员工感到远程工作,可以通过增强现实技术,让人们几乎在一起。
加入等唤起未来的勘探工作,已经开始,数百万人会创造历史,悄悄地从一个家庭办公室。
