Global implementation of #remotework in 2021. These are the challenges we face:
1. Investing in technology and training: a study in Latin America in 2020 (conducted with 815 leaders in the region) found that only 22% of companies work fully remotely. That’s a very poor percentage. More technology investments are needed to shape the future of work.
2. Developing new skills: the @wef predicts that 50% of employees will need retraining by 2025 as technology adoption increases. Furthermore, the main ‘soft competence’ requested is change adaptation.
3. Designing a new social contract: rules must be implemented so employers and workers find a middle ground that allows an effective transition to remote work – but the rules are still under discussion.
What are the main challenges your companies face in 2021 regarding the implementation of #remotework? Please let me know.

I'd like to share the list of articles I ask my new team members to read during their first week on the job. We discuss many of the concepts addressed in our daily meetings. Here are the articles about strategy:
