The New Work Landscape

The daily hour commute in stand-still traffic and the mind-numbing standard 9–5 was quickly replaced with struggling to find an empty place for Zoom calls and working remotely from home offices, and hoping your kids do not barge in during an important meeting with your boss. Even three years later as the world slowly regains its footing and returns back to some kind of normalcy. Many companies still offer remote and hybrid job options. According to Forbes Magazine, 12.7% of the workforce work completely remotely and at home while an additional 28.2% of workers have adopted a hybrid system. This means that employees work some days remotely and some days in the office. That is 40% of the workforce that is working remotely and many companies have no plans to revert back to the traditional pre-pandemic life.

There are many benefits to this new kind of job. Better accessibility for those who may not be able to work in a traditional workspace, less time at work and more time at home with loved ones, increased productivity levels, decreased turnover rates, the ability to work anywhere and everywhere, and so much more. If anything, the pandemic revealed that many jobs did not actually require employees to be in the office five days, working forty hours a week. They could be at home working with the same level of productivity as if they had been in the office. In some cases, some jobs turned completely remote. Additionally, the pandemic gave rise to the Gig Economy and the freelancing space. Many could pursue their passions or turn their side hobbies into a flourishing business during the lockdown period all thanks to remote work.

Before remote and hybrid jobs, the traditional workforce life consisted of commuting from their homes to the office five days a week, working forty hours, and then making that same commute home. This meant that new hires would have to relocate within commuting distance by means of public transport, carpooling, or driving. This could be financially taxing on employees as many companies are located in high-cost-of-living cities. But with the rise of remote work, many were able to work in different cities, states, and even countries, than the one the company is based in. The New York Times reports that in big metropolitan cities such as San Francisco, San Jose, and New York City, those who did have remote jobs were moving out. 32,000 workers in San Francisco, 27,000 people in San Jose, and a staggering 116,000 people in New York. Additionally, places like Austin, Texas, Dallas, Texas, and Nashville, Tennessee actually saw an influx of people with remote jobs moving in as a majority of those working remote jobs worked in high-cost-of-living cities. With this new work landscape to navigate, many ran into new problems created by remote work. They could not keep track of their meetings, it was difficult to find a time when all employees could meet due to time zone differences, and etc. To solve these issues, managers began turning to scheduling software to help.
