Over the last few months, and in particular the last couple of weeks, it’s felt as though the world around us has changed massively - so many things are now operating so differently and life, at least for the near future, isn’t quite how we expected it to be.

The way we work together has been constantly changing over the years. We began by assigning each employee a fixed workspace. In the time that followed, we worked in spacious open-office environments — but that trend is also fading.

Having a laptop, mobile phone and access to the internet is often enough for most knowledge workers to be able to do their work when and where they want and to be able to contact their colleagues via the telephone, a video call or by collaboration using platforms such as Microsoft Teams. Technological progress makes this possible and easier, but labor market trends certainly affect how fast this progress occurs. Therefore, we will cover three significant ones in this blog.
