Work-related barriers and geographies begin to fall and we learn to listen and connect in different ways. Whilst a virtual meeting doesn\u2019t fully substitute being together, by giving it your undivided attention, you will better understand aspects of people\u2019s lives you&#8217;ll otherwise not be exposed to.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes when you work from home, you can find the balance between family life and home life blur. As a manager, it\u2019s important for me to ensure my team work together, prioritise connections, and all support each other to maintain the right balance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern mindset conclusion one:<\/strong> There is now a universal lens of empathy being applied to how we live first and work second.<\/p>\n<h2>Emphasise mental wellbeing<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/11\/SUR18_Holiday_Contextual_3642_RGB-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Man working remotely using Surface\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>A <a href=\"http:\/\/eureka.sbs.ox.ac.uk\/7348\/1\/2019-04.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">University of Oxford study<\/a> found a direct correlation between employee wellbeing and positive business performance. More and more companies are recognising mental health as important, with <a href=\"https:\/\/reba.global\/files\/document\/257\/1561368113_REBAWellbeingResearch2019ExecutiveSummary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">83 percent of businesses addressing it directly in their wellbeing strategies, according to REBA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this information, only 9.2 percent of the C-level board drives wellbeing agendas. We all recognise there is no price on a healthy mind. Companies that consider how teams can work together and what support employees might need at home will likely see a quicker return to profitability and prosperity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern mindset conclusion two:<\/strong> Mental wellbeing support will be at the forefront of every company\u2019s success moving forwards and no longer an optional \u2018tick box\u2019 benefit.<\/p>\n<h2>Working from home will become more acceptable<\/h2>\n<p>The working from home stigma well and truly has been blown out of the water. Amidst return to work considerations, savvy companies will properly design spaces to be about bringing teams together in safe, collaborative and productive environments.<\/p>\n<p>We won\u2019t encourage employees to be in every day just \u2018because\u2019. Office running costs will likely be lower, and this will enable bursaries to help employees set up decent, comfortable work areas at home. We will appreciate each other\u2019s company more, and make more effort to support and reach out over video call, or chat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern mindset conclusion three:<\/strong> Our appreciation of the workplace and colleagues will be invigorated, and mundane routines will be reduced leading to healthier and happier places of work.<\/p>\n<h2>Rapid digitisation of companies will help offset our travel carbon footprint.<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium webp-format alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/05\/Sky19_skypeWork_001-300x200.webp\" alt=\"Woman holding a work video meeting at home\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-orig-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/05\/Sky19_skypeWork_001-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/05\/Sky19_skypeWork_001-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/05\/Sky19_skypeWork_001-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/05\/Sky19_skypeWork_001-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/05\/Sky19_skypeWork_001-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/05\/Sky19_skypeWork_001-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/05\/Sky19_skypeWork_001-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/05\/Sky19_skypeWork_001-400x267.jpg 400w\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/05\/Sky19_skypeWork_001-300x200.jpg\" \/>Whilst I miss being with my teams across EMEA, their cultures, their languages, foods, and customs \u2013 I do not miss flying eight hours from Spain to New York for a two-hour presentation or hopping back-to-back across countries to roll out a new methodology.<\/p>\n<p>My teams have quickly adapted to virtual workshops, presentations, and pitches. We meet regularly to reframe, brainsteer, and ideate together and with our clients thanks to Teams. It&#8217;s no longer a process of aligning diaries, tag team across weeks, and finally arrive in one physical place. We can get together as a global team quicker, meaning we can better adapt and respond to any changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern mindset conclusion four:<\/strong> Digital transformation has become more important. Focus on consistency to keep people connected wherever they are and whatever their work task.<\/p>\n<h2>The future of work<\/h2>\n<p>Empathy and human connections go hand-in-hand in a modern workplace. We will have a higher focus on everyone\u2019s wellbeing. Technology will aid this. It will give us the ability to connect in new and exciting ways, no matter where your team is located.
