Lesson7 The Office of the Future (4)

You’ve probably heard of “hoteling” or “hot desking,” where workers store goods in company lockers and reserve an open, unassigned desk as needed. I understand A&A is now looking at how to accommodate employees who may come to the office just a couple of days a week.
I think the future of work is flexibility. Many companies are planning a kind of blended approach. They’ll keep desks in the office for employees who need a dedicated workspace outside the home. They’ll also allow greater flexibility for people working remotely-not necessarily at home, but in a “third place” like a coffee shop, library or coworking space.
Actually, white-collar workers have been losing space for decades. Private offices ultimately gave way to the cubicles that were all the rage in the 1960s. That trend later morphed into open office designs that resembled a newsroom.
In addition to the cost and hassle of setting up home offices, working from home has led to many employees spending money on new technology. Which lead to the question: If you convert a closet or add a room under the stairs or reconfigure part of the house to make a work-from-home space, will the company pay for it?
Well, that depends. The economic impact of the pandemic will likely force many employers to cut costs. In big cities, office vacancies are reaching unprecedented levels.

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
