The Future of Work: Flexibility and Collaboration

The future of work is anticipated to be more flexible, with a shift towards remote and distributed teams. Offices are likely to become more residential and comfortable, focusing on collaboration spaces rather than individual workstations. Research suggests that being in the office three to four days a week is more beneficial for satisfaction, retention, productivity, and collaboration. A potential model of working one week per month together and dividing remote work has shown that the depth of interaction is more important than frequency in building meaningful connections among coworkers.
