The New World of Work Second Edition: The Cube, the Cloud, and What's Next - Paperback
by Tim Houlne (Author), Terri Maxwell (Author)
As most Americans were recovering from the 2008 financial sector meltdown, our global economy spawned an entirely new way of organizing work. As a result, jobs disappeared, but the work did not. Instead, it moved to the cloud.
The shift to a virtual workforce was subtle and slow to adopt, until the COVID - 19 pandemic changed the way the world worked. Now, there are literally no limits to what, how, and where work can be performed. These changing patterns have transformed jobs as work moves seamlessly across the globe, oblivious to borders or locations. While every company had to adjust to the new world of work, smart companies and leaders will continue to leverage the global talent marketplace by using the cloud and this high-demand skilled, virtual workforce for competitive advantage.**{:: }ENTER THE NEW WORLD OF WORK{:: }**
The New World of Work has blurred the lines between work and personal life, and the definition of an office has changed forever.
In 2020, the pandemic forced a massive remote work experiment as every company across the globe abandoned their offices and assembled a virtual workforce overnight.
What started with a movement at the turn of the century has become the new normal for companies who want to attract and retain talent. While some companies will require workers to return to the office, most companies will continue to offer workers flexibility and the ability to work partially from home or anywhere.
