As the Covid-19 pandemic still continues to transform our worklife, it is easy to see that the post-coronavirus future will be a model that combines remote work and office time. And many experts forecast that the proportion of regular home workers will double in one generation.
As it is known, since Covid-19 pandemic started in early 2020, companies have been managing in varied ways, and they have sent their employees home. Actually, coronavirus epidemic has been forcing businesses globally to adopt remote working. In this context, some employees will continue to work remotely, until at least 2021. Others can decide where to base themself.
Working from home two or three days a week could be optimal for balancing socialbility, independence, an flexibility. That's the main reason why many models of hybrid working include alternative ways of how to structure remote work with phisical presence (office work). As a consequence, some companies will not maintain the same amount of office space for a smaller number of workers.
The good news, in terms of pollution, is that the reduced proportion of commuting workers will give positive environmental effects on our planet.
The picture above shows a medieval village in Central Italy, where we spent last weekend. The vulcanic tufa rock is found everywhere, from the bare rock to the houses, towers and churches. If I were a remote worker, I would like to live there.
Yes, remote working should have happened before this. If there is a good side to Covid, it is that we have learned that remote working has advantages.
