During the two years of the pandemic, news media and common people alike were quick to report how the environment had started slowly rebuilding itself with many of the cities gaining back parts of the vegetation that they had lost during their urbanisation. Moreover, there were reportedly more flowers to be seen on trees and plants, and more butterflies and birds started showing up as a result of these. It was really awe-inspiring to watch the climatic impact that a few months of WFH had done on the environment. 

We are currently witnessing a Workplace Revolution; partly because of the pandemic and partly because technology these days is too good that the concept of the workplace has been changed forever.

Workplace Flexibility and Flexible Working Hours

The Indian Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi in his speech addressing the country on August 25, mentioned that in order to boost the workforce with more representation from Women, different industries need to create provisions for working from home and flexibility in working hours. 

It's getting personal!

The idea of being "in-office" appears to be a thing of the past in this continuously changing world as the concept of virtual workspaces is becoming prominent. With much of the world's workforce demanding their employers for Hybrid, Flexible and Remote working models, companies have started accepting the reality of a flexible working model with some versions of Hybrid, Remote and Flexible models in practice.

In fact, a recent study by Upwork found that by 2028, 73% of all departments are expected to have remote workers. So, it can be fairly said that incorporating virtual workspaces is swiftly becoming the ultimate baseline.

If you look at the last 80 years of the world’s work culture, there was a recurring trend of significant change in the workplace every few decades. It started with the industrial revolution; the use of coal, which got replaced by gas, which in turn got replaced by electricity and then got revolutionised by the Internet and renewable energy.

All of these had a significant impact on the work culture of the respective workforce of the time. The industrial revolution changed traditional farming and agriculture to let people work in factories while coal and gas helped mechanise a lot of their equipment and then the electricity further enhanced the ease and productivity of the industries which then got replaced by automation and robotics. It all happened in the last 200 years.

This trend of workforce revolution is now at a stage where it’s getting ready for another revolution. The revolution of workplace flexibility. 

Gone are the days when Freelancers used to be the small-timers who were looking for short-term gigs. The current trend is that much of Small Medium scale businesses depend on Freelancers for their day-to-day requirements in tech, content as well as marketing and sales requirements. 

As the Flexible statistics say: 70% of SMBs in the U.S. have worked with freelancers at least once. 81% of these companies plan to hire freelancers again. 83% agree that freelancers have greatly helped their business.

Within the last few years, the idea of the education system has undergone a significant alteration. No longer is attending a class in person the sole way to learn. It's difficult to comprehend the idea of abandoning the traditional classroom, particularly when we have access to the internet.

The transition to a remote/hybrid work trend, which is still happening after 18 long months after the pandemic originally broke out, has probably had the biggest impact on the global economy and commerce.
