How Covid-19 Helped Evangelize The Work From Home Culture

Job loss across global markets is one of the most prominent ways in which the pandemic marked its presence through 2020. Although work-from-home has now become the new normal, the fact is that the abrupt shift to remote work did leave millions without a job. And while there is good news with availability of multiple Covid-19 vaccines, much of the uncertainty that global workforces experienced during the pandemic continues.

To expect the world to return to pre-pandemic days seems almost impossible for the simple reason that the Wuhan virus has literally reshaped our world — and it’s a change that is here to stay.

Remote Work — The New Normal

Stringent lockdowns in certain states (not all), social distancing, and massive public awareness programs worked in a limited capacity to stem the spread of Covid-19. And in the middle of the ensuing chaos, the one question that was hunting everyone was this — for how long? Work had to resume for economies and markets to survive. The only way to make this happen was via remote work.

Even as we get ready to usher in the New Year, there is every indication that work-from-home which became the new normal in 2020, will continue and evolve in the coming years.

Is it Possible to Address Personal and Professional Goals with Remote Work?

Regardless of whether you work from an office or at home, improving quality of your life will always remain a core concern. After all, everyone wants a job that improves their personal lifestyle and addresses their professional goals. And there is no reason why remote working should prevent you from pursuing professional milestones and living the life you want.

Yes, work will never be the same again. The pandemic may have changed how we work, but it also has helped us evolve work strategies that are highly efficient and productive. So, at the end of it all, it doesn’t matter where you are working from — what matters is that you work in a job that you like and are passionate about.

The first step in that direction begins with aligning with employment services such as Rookieplay that focus on what you “the job-seeker” wants as opposed to blindly filling in job requirements of companies.

We are Passionate about Evangelizing the Work-from-home Culture

At Rookieplay we understand how important it is for you to like what you are doing — especially if you are working from home.

We know what you want and why your expectations are relevant. Unlike other employment services that use the term “job satisfaction” merely as a bait to attract job-seekers, at Rookieplay we believe that business productivity and profit will be temporary unless you are satisfied and happy at what you are doing.

For this reason, we use technology platforms to match jobs with job-seekers — it simply is about applying new information age work patters that connect you with jobs that can help you meet and enhance your personal and professional goals.

If personal and professional satisfaction is what you want from your job, then visit us at Rookieplay today!
