The world of work has undergone fundamental changes over the last three years. New ecosystems of digital work have emerged, supported by a suite of platforms that enable teams to collaborate in real-time across the world, from the comfort of their own homes, or wherever they choose to work. Teamwork has officially moved from meeting rooms to Zoom calls.

That isn’t to say that the traditional office is a thing of the past. Many businesses find that face-to-face collaboration still delivers strong results, sparking the concept of hybrid work, conducted partially at home and partially in the office. According to recent statistics, 30% of the European employed workforce will work recmotely in the next five years – a popular decision amongst employees. According to a recent study by Deloitte, a majority of millennials (62%) and Gen Zers (63%) prefer to work remotely at least some of the time. In comparison, only a small percentage of them (20% and 19%, respectively) are interested in working in an office on a full-time basis. 

With a fundamental shift in working culture like this, comes a required shift in team operations and skillsets. Collaborating partially using remote working tools is vastly different from collaborating face-to-face full-time.  

However with this fundamental shift in working culture comes a series of challenges, including communicating via digital platforms, building relationships, and collaborating with teams across the globe.
