Personal Productivity and Well-being -- Chapter 2 of the 2021 New Future of Work Report
This research addresses the problem of adapting work infrastructure for remote and hybrid settings, but it is incremental as it builds on existing reports without introducing new methods.
The study examined the impact of COVID-19 on the productivity and well-being of information workers during remote work, finding that challenges and benefits are closely linked.
We now turn to understanding the impact that COVID-19 had on the personal productivity and well-being of information workers as their work practices were impacted by remote work. This chapter overviews people's productivity, satisfaction, and work patterns, and shows that the challenges and benefits of remote work are closely linked. Looking forward, the infrastructure surrounding work will need to evolve to help people adapt to the challenges of remote and hybrid work.
