If your company is wondering what the future of work looks like post-pandemic, you’re not alone. Thought leaders all over the world are exploring how work is changing during these unprecedented times, and what employers need to do to adapt.
Singularity University, a global learning and innovation community, joined the conversation by hosting a four-week digital series called next: Work that addressed the changing careers and workforce of the future.
The online event wrapped up with a one-day summit examining many aspects of the future of work, including a panel discussion on distributed work with FlexJobs Founder and CEO, Sara Sutton.

What Is the Future of Work?
As of now, it looks like the future is remote work. In a recent Gartner survey of CFOs and finance leaders, 74% say they plan to shift at least 5% of their employees to permanent remote work post-COVID-19. And almost one-fourth of respondents say they’ll move 20% or more of employees to remote positions.
Another survey found that 43% of employers will continue with virtual work whenever possible. All in all, most organizations anticipate that the number of employees working from home will significantly increase after the pandemic is over.
