The Project
About
| The Covid-19 virus outbreak in late 2019 / early 2020 led to a surge of remote working, where the majority of EU white collar workforce was compelled to work in an out-of-office setting; this comes to a sharp contrast compared to past years, where just 5-10% of EU employees have been working remotely, according to Eurostat. One of the most pressing challenges that emerged has been the possibility of a lasting workplace change, where a greater part of the workforce works out of premises. The prospect of a remote work transition creates uncertainty and distress to workers all over the world, as normal work patterns, modes of communication, and team dynamics will be disrupted; it is only a small share of the workforce that is already familiar with this mode of work. For most, there is an emerging substantial need to improve relevant soft and hard skills and competences, ranging from digital, social & communicating skills to setting up and running a home office and work routines, and maintaining a work-life balance and healthy lifestyle. REMSKA project’s outputs will be some tools for responding to this challenge. |
