Predictions: LinkedIn looks at the post-COVID workplace
Several pandemic-driven trends may be here to stay.
No one saw 2020 coming. At the close of 2019, economists in the U.S. talked about the prospect of full employment, we expected Brexit to dominate headlines in Europe, and Japan was poised to open its doors to the world as host to the Summer Olympics.
COVID-19 happened instead.
The coronavirus — first described in January as a mysterious, flu-like ailment making the rounds in China — brought the global economy to a standstill. Millions lost their jobs, and over 1.4 million people lost their lives. Many of us went home, and stayed there.
2020 tested our resilience, forcing the world to change on the fly how it lives and works. As we near 2021, with the tenuous promise of a suite of vaccines, we face a new test: We will need to decide what kind of post-pandemic world we want to build, for ourselves and for future generations.
Every December, LinkedIn editors ask our community of Influencers, Top Voices and frequent contributors to share the Big Ideas they believe will define the year ahead. This year, in the shadow of a once-in-a-century pandemic, we offer a selection of predictions and thoughts on where we go from here — at work, at home and everywhere in between.
