You’re working from home: Now What?
In what seemed like a blink of an eye, we shifted from our normal routines and processes to trying our best to make temporary workspaces out of kitchen tables. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced companies into a self-reflection period and exposed many gaps within the organization, in regards to how tasks were carried out, documents were filed, and how paper-dependent or manual workflows were completed.
Remote work has picked up quite a bit of steam, given its necessity, during this pandemic. But, the momentum that the work-from-home setting has amassed over these 13 weeks is proving that it could be here to stay – in some capacity. We have seen major companies already make the decision to stay remote through the end of 2020 and that is not telling what a possible second wave of the virus could mean for other companies hinging on that decision. COVID-19 has flipped our education system on its end and forced students and educators to finish the school year completely remote with some districts already laying out extremely cautious reopening protocols.
As we continue to manage our new remote settings and the potential for it to continue, we are all posed with the same question: How can we make it WORK!?
