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.

All-New feature updates on Wurkr 

The new update improves collaboration, accessibility, and your overall experience

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. 

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.

In remote work cultures, the most challenging task for the employer is to create a healthy employee remote work experience.

Wurkr, a virtual office software company, makes a compelling argument for the remote-first work model through a series of virtual team-building exercises and enabling a healthy culture while still working distributedly.

As the world largely transitioned from in-office culture to hybrid/remote-first culture, we saw a significant amount of support as well as the opposition. However, some companies like Yahoo, BestBuy and Reddit vehemently opposed the idea of working remotely. The reasons they had quoted were many. The major arguments among them were around the following premises:

Imagine working in a company that has its teammates distributed across 4 continents in the world. The team would definitely lack real connections among them; meeting apps do little to help that. 

An already cool digital workplace, Wurkr has rolled out a new feature making the platform more efficient and user-friendly. With the new "profile configuration", you can make changes to all your profile settings from one place. 

Be it availability, status messages, or integrating your personal Google workspace - do it from just a single point of access! We have outlined all the features here in this article.
