As we enter 2021, the question of what the future of work looks like amidst an ongoing global pandemic is more important than ever before. Many people around the world have been forced to switch to remote work, disrupting and transforming the workplace environment. This has posed myriad challenges at all levels of management. Businesses have scrambled to establish new remote workforce models, and struggle to maintain comparable levels of efficiency, productivity, and team cohesion with on-site work. Employee health is attacked from all sides, from the physical threat of contracting COVID-19 to the mental stress of sustained isolation and heightened limitations. In addressing these challenges, among others, technology has offered a variety of solutions to ensure that employees can still work productively from home. Given the continued advancement of technological tools and capabilities, there is a large possibility that these innovations are here to stay and will become a part of the post-pandemic "new normal".
