While 2020 is likely to go down in history as the year of ultimate disruption and change, the full extent of the transformation of our world is only beginning to emerge.
The pandemic has compelled sectors that were on the brink of adopting a hybrid work culture to finally succumb in the interest of maintaining business continuity. Corporate workplaces everywhere are taking stock of their performance in the year gone by and rejoicing at the fact that hybrid workplaces did not mean a loss in productivity after all.
A study by Boston Consulting Group revealed that 75 per cent of employees who have transitioned to remote working or remained remote during COVID-19, were at least as productive in performing their individual tasks as they were before the pandemic struck. About half reported that they were at least as productive on collaborative tasks that normally would be performed in conference rooms.
