EDITOR ’ S QUESTION

This transition implies using new work models , new routines and even rethinking the need for an office . Workers are considering what impact the new models will have on their day-to-day operations .

Either way , companies need to maintain Business Continuity , sign documents and contracts , and securely access applications and files . These minimum requirements also require rethinking the management of networks and applications and solutions in the cloud that offer the necessary flexibility in a scenario without precise limits .

The future of work

PwC , in its Report on the Future of Work 2022 , proposes three ‘ worlds ’ and grades them by colors .

• The blue world : In which the corporate environment prevails and is given relevance in using technologies , among other factors , to sensors and data analytics to optimize performance .

• The green world : For its part , seeks people with similar mentalities to collaborate in a familiar environment , attracted by its values and culture and with the use of technology to help people build work within their lives and minimize the environmental impact .

• The orange world : Technology provides the solution to find and evaluate working people and suppliers with crucial skills while including commercial terms within the offer as a specific task . At the same time , the reputation of the company within networking and online recruiting is crucial to attracting talent . Companies in the orange world use technology to generate virtual collaboration spaces .

The idea is not to completely adopt one of the worlds that PwC proposes but for companies to take what suits them best from each of them and create a corporate environment that meets their collaborators ’ present and future needs , and those of its business allies and clients .
