22 DESIGN007 MAGAZINE I FEBRUARY 2022 Feature Article by Tamara Jovanovic HAPPIEST BABY In a world where technology is so quickly evolving, we really shouldn't be surprised that companies and professional events have gone virtual. Change can be daunting, but as we all master navigating life in this "new nor- mal" (don't you hate that term?), we realize that not much of our professional lives has changed. You still have to go to work every day, but now you just do so from the comfort of your home, and you don't interact with people in person. Obviously, the global pandemic had a mas- sive impact on work culture. Even though the situation with the virus is slowly improving, a lot of companies are still maintaining a flexible workplace. anks to modern technology, a lot of companies were able to continue work- ing seamlessly despite all the hurdles that the pandemic has created. As employees continue to be efficient at working remotely, many employers don't see a need for expensive office space anymore. Many employers allow their workers to con- tinue working from home and use the office as needed. I believe that this hybrid work environ- ment is what the future holds for most compa- nies. is change in work dynamic allows peo- ple to have more freedom with their personal lives while still getting their jobs done, which promotes a healthy work-life balance. Of course, human beings are social creatures who depend on each other to thrive and sur- vive. As a hardware engineer, I do lot of hands- on work with the product and prototypes, and this requires me to be in the office most of the time. As part of a team, I oen work with other people and depend on my team members for various kinds of tasks. Most of my team also works from the office, and I personally don't have problems with communication, but I can see a potential for miscommunication. Keep the Change? No, Embrace It
