The Future of Work
How will we work?
This was a question on everybody’s mind as the world slowed down and masks and hand sanitizer became more prevalent.
Now, as vaccines spread and we look at how COVID-19 changed work expectations, we have a chance to reflect on some ways that the pandemic, albeit devastating, actually helped improve business models and showed us new possibilities.
From a look at remote work productivity to understanding implications of hybrid work models in the future, there is a lot of ground to cover in an evaluation of the future landscape of work.
Fortunately, Daniel Anstandig is an expert that has navigated the terrain first-hand as CEO of Futuri Media. In today’s episode, join Daniel for a look at how work-from-home can become a more permanent solution for many companies.
