The New Normal In Teleworking After The Coronavirus What Does 2021 Hold For Us?

The pandemic has revolutionized the ways of working and has led to a forced transformation in record time by most companies.

However, this change is here to stay. What will the new normal at work be like? Let’s see the main predictions for this year.

The world will never be the same again in 2021

The experience working from home during all these months has changed the mindset of employees and business organizations.

Video conferencing and collaborative work solutions such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Slack, are the most common tools for daily work. The number of subscriptions skyrocketed at the beginning of the pandemic and they have not stopped growing, both in offices, as well as in schools and other large organizations.

Let’s see the main changes.
