When asked which changes in the work environment will persist after the COVID-19 vaccines are adopted, 90 percent of respondents state that they are likely to allow employees to work remotely at least part of the time. Sixty-five percent state that more flexibility on when people work will be a defining feature of the work environment. This means that organizations must ensure that employees have the technical equipment that suits their needs and the ability to navigate a digital work environment. Furthermore, these numbers implicate that some of the measures organizations had to adopt due to the COVID-19 pandemic are becoming an integral part of the work environment and are not necessarily temporary.
