Team play
There is an old saying, “ Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” any organization survives and thrives on any challenge if employees work as a team. Even in the time of crises such as the pandemic, organizations that functioned as a team stepping in each other’s shoes to support in unfortunate circumstances. For instance, the HR team stepped up to fill in IT shoes in certain cases to continue work and lead towards the betterment of the organization. However, creating a virtual team is not an easy task. As stated by Steve Cates,
“The concept and creation of virtual teams that goes along with virtual work will become a huge issue moving into 2021,”
The virtual team consists of members who have been binded together on a digital platform. This can create a ruckus as the employees may or may not be comfortable with such an approach. This is why it becomes essential to create a culture that celebrates growth, adaptability and resilience. Implementing new technologies will elevate the facilities but it can offer better results only if the entire team works as a unit.

At this point in time no one can predict a picture of how the world of work will function. Having said that, technological advancements such as HR software have been constantly innovating tools to cater any mode of work such as hybrid or remote. It can be said that the upcoming generation has set their pillars on the technological world to mold the future.
