Context:  Pandemic has catalyzed a great decentralization and democratization in the future working model with the wide acceptance of Work from home (WFH) and Work-From-anywhere (WFA) environment.

Pandemic Induced Changes in Future Working Order

  • Hybrid working environment: with a proportion of work time in office and the rest elsewhere 
  • Will accrue benefits like less traffic, cleaner air, easier commutes, decentralized and smaller offices.
    • Decentralization of co-working spaces: with a collection of standardized desks and infrastructure that links people’s homes to a range of meeting rooms at central locations. 
  • Work-From-anywhere (WFA) model: “anywhere" could be home, an office, a neighborhood park, a closeby coffee shop, or even a co-working space.

Conclusion: Pandemic has made the future working model more accessible, flexible, decentralized, and democratic.
