The pandemic undoubtedly played a key role in promoting remote work, calling for businesses to invest in their online presence, remote work capacities and digital tools to keep employees informed, connected and productive.
As the hybrid work model is expected to prevail, companies are investing in online management tools as well as the training and development of their managers to be able to successfully manage remote teams and ensure a smooth transition for both those working in the office and remotely.
While remote working allowed employees to achieve a better work-life balance, reduce commute time, improve social life and deal with family commitments, managing remote workers was a challenge for employers. While during strict quarantines companies were forced to adopt remote working practices, many are planning to retain teleworking options for their employees, and expand investments in communications and IT solutions, facilitating successful remote and hybrid work models.
