There’s a lot of great technology out there for remote workers. Now that many companies across the globe have had to allow their employees to work remotely, discontinue travel and shut down common office space, they must find alternate ways to connect and stay in business. Phone conferencing has been around for a long time, but lack a visual experience and personal connection across departments and with clients. Even before mandated social distancing, video conferencing had become a useful tool for many companies. Now virtual connections are indispensable in doing business of any kind with more than one or two people off site.
An unprecedented number of workers have recently had to adapt to working remotely, primarily from home. The question is, once the global quarantine crisis is resolved and workers are allowed to go back to the office, will they want to? Will companies want to go back to doing “business as usual?”
With much of the world complying with a general stay-at-home order, every major activity and connection with people outside their homes has temporarily ceased for an undesignated period of time. Families not only have lost work or had to learn to work at home, but students are converting to school online, while any groups’ activities are also streaming or replaying on YouTube, social media videos, and websites. Our virtual world grew a lot bigger, while our intimate personal connections became almost non-existent. Planning for work-life balance in this era of remote everything has changed.
