The world of work was already bracing for massive change before the arrival of COVID-19. Businesses that have been feeling the sting of automation, an ageing workforce and rapid changes in technology have been forced to adapt to remote work, social distancing, and dramatic shifts in consumer expectations and needs. Though the arrival of the novel coronavirus has had a lasting impact on many businesses, it would be a mistake to think that this one event has brought about the Future of Work.
