Impact Of Digital Workplace In Employee Relationships

A Catastrophic Shift

- Kaviyakavi Baskaran

Building good peer relationships has always been an inseparable part of employee's everyday office life. However, since the pandemic hit, and the world of glass-walled offices was distributed into work from the couch, work from desk individually, there was no space for the employees to communicate and spend time with each other.

The commuting time is replaced by cooking at home as the office is only 5 minutes away from the kitchen to the work desk! The shift in the working schedule has also shifted the way the employees bond with each other.

The interface and circumstances have always been formal since the conference room meetings were replaced by Zoom and Team meetings.

According to Jeff Teper, Microsoft 365 Corporate VP, Microsoft Teams now has over 145 Million daily users.
