The unprecedented breadth and scope of COVID-19’s global impact has certainly acted as a catalyst for rapid change, both in terms of how we view the nature of the ‘office’ and the way we support our people.

Having been through a tumultuous period in which immediate strategic responses to external events were prioritized, the relentless tide of change is starting to recede and we are seeing a collective shift from a limbic survival mindset to a more reflective stance. Attention has turned to the fundamental question: what now?

The impressive response to COVID-19 across all industries and sectors has seen a rapid acceleration in the ongoing evolution of our relationship with remote and distributed working practices. While the initial period of acclimatization had its challenges, a positive consensus has taken shape around this sudden proliferation in remote working. 

This article shares insights from a range of industry experts and delves into the impacts of the pandemic and the opportunities that this acceleration of remote work practices offers for a longer-term reimagining of ways of working.
