Remote work, once a consideration for many organisations but rarely a priority, has become a health and safety imperative. Even as organisations plan their recovery strategies, however, remote work will remain a cornerstone of the post-pandemic future of work. This leaves HR leaders with a series of critical decisions to make around which parts of the workforce can work remotely, which should stay remote even after recovery and how their organisations should navigate follow-on changes, such as facilitating collaboration and building relationships.

Rethink work to better support on-site, contingent and remote workers.
COVID-19 has shattered the paradigm of in-office work
Rethink how and where work gets done
Organisations need a new framework, not to answer “How soon can our employees be back in the office?” but to answer, “What touchpoints in our organisation require in-person interaction?”. This includes a switch from assessing the suitability of roles to be performed remotely to assessing suitability of workflows to be completed remotely. Then, HR leaders must understand the supporting processes and technology needed to enable employees to flow seamlessly between on-site and remote working modes.
