Post-Pandemic Work Life

COVID 2020, we all packed up our desks and moved to work from home for an
indetermined amount of time. We were able to spend time with our family while working, we
lived in the moment, we were confined to our homes. How has this changed what we look for
in a company now? Well, in a post-pandemic world of work, there has been a sizeable shift in
what employees expect from a company in terms of work schedule and location. Having
experienced work from home for as long as we did, the idea of going back into the office
seemed a little daunting and overwhelming. We realized that we wanted to be happy in our
everyday work while many companies decided to make a change in their work schedule. Some
of these changes include a work from home option, a hybrid schedule, and even just a more
understanding, flexibility that allows for their employees to better balance their work and lives.
In a poll taken, the participants had the option to choose from a list of answers that the
post-pandemic workforce is looking for in their work. Of these answers, many responded that a
work from home/hybrid option was the most important for them while others responded to
the answer values they align with, and more travel opportunities. Though both of those
opinions were highly desired characteristics they would like to see implemented in their work,
the hybrid opportunity took the cake. So, there is a need for employers to listen to their
employees and understand the importance of these wants and needs.
