How work changes in the post-pandemic world
8 Hypotheses on the Future of Work
Over the last few months, we’ve all been able to observe and experience how the idea of work is changing. The pandemic has not only forced us to profoundly change our work habits, but we are also questioning our long-term attitude towards it.
Countless reports and statistics about the pandemic’s impact on working life have been circulating. We have followed the discourse on the future of work for a long time and have even conducted a small survey?on work from home. Remarkably, out of 180 participants, only 7% said they wanted to return to their office for good. We have intensively discussed the results within the Emma Wanderer team and our network, and also immersed ourselves in the opinions of international thought leaders in this domain.
From all the observations and conversations, we were able to develop 8 hypotheses about how we envision the future of work. In a series of several posts that start with this article, we want to discuss what they are and our opinion about the impact they will have on us personally, as well as on a societal level. Our 8 hypotheses on the future of work serve not only as a contribution to the new work discourse but also as a basis for product development for our new company,?Emma Wanderer.

How we imagine work after the pandemic:
- Work from Home (WFH) will turn into Work from Anywhere (WFA)
- How we work will primarily depend on our current phase of life
- Location-independent work-life habits and digital nomads are here to stay
- Remote work will become part of our climate strategy
- Remote work revives the countryside
- New types of tourism will emerge from the hybrid work trend
- The battle for talent continues to heat up. People are wooing remote workers, people are wooing remote work
- Flexible work demands adoption from management, politics, society, and everyone else

3 年Another interesting point relating to this subject is, that companies that design and outfit office spaces are booming currently, which is astonishing given the fact that everybody talks about remote work. The challenge for companies is, that though people want to spent parts of their working hours remote, they want to have the perfect office surrounding when they are on spot which puts pressure on companies to improve their office surroundings although they won’t be not used as much as before.

3 å¹´you are obviously looking at a small subset of workers - namely knowledge workers with highly sought-after skills. also, i think you have quite a bias, as you don’t see how businesses like investment banking or consulting are somewhat snapping back to their former selves in terms of office life. it would help if you would frame for whom you think those hypotheses count the most - and how many people are actually part of this group compared to the “restâ€, which does not have the fitting jobs or leverage to change their working style. is it 80/20? 90/10?
