According to The Guardian, many of those working at home during lockdown want to change how they work going forward. Many only want to go into the office 3 days a week, believing both their productivity and work-home balance will improve.
This has implications for the way businesses recruit new employees, in addition to what employees are looking for both in their current roles and future roles.
This lockdown period has been tough on working parents, who have to juggle work and chores with childcare and home-schooling. Once their children are back at school, they should experience even greater benefits in remote working.
New employee soft skills and leadership skills will need to be developed to manage the new emerging combination of virtual and office-based teams.
