Over the years, workplace characteristics have changed drastically. The pandemic pushed us to sit at one place, and today technology started to prevail and influence the way we work. The workplace of the present looks completely different from what it was just a few decades ago—or even a few years ago. With the rise of collaboration and the continuing evolution, it’s fascinating to think about all the transformations that have happened and the future. We spoke to Ankur Goel, Managing Director, Poly India & SAARC, to understand the evolution of the workspaces and strategies to implement the hybrid work environment.
▾ Evolution of work and workspaces
Undoubtedly, we have seen a massive shift in the way we work over the last two years. In the initial days of the pandemic, organisations were forced to move to a work from-home setup. Were organisations ready for it? The answer is no.
However, as we progressed and employers and employees started getting a bit more accustomed to remote working, companies started realising that we can be productive, no matter our work location, provided we have the right tools and technologies.Today, the location and the devices from which we work have become irrelevant, and work is no longer a place we go to, but it is what we do.
I definitely believe that hybrid working is the future. The physical office is not going to go away anytime soon, especially for sectors like manufacturing and banking, but it will take on a new form. At the same time, remote working will also continue in some form as companies have realised the benefits of working remotely,like better work-life balance for employees and lesser operational costs for employers.
