BARCELONA — As global development organizations shift to remote working during the COVID-19 pandemic, some are predicting a long-term change in thinking about the traditional office setup.
Even before the pandemic, some employers were offering more flexibility for staff members to work from home and seeing the benefits of providing options for remote work.
The current situation might finally prompt more organizations to consider hiring the right talent from anywhere in the world, said Craig Zelizer, CEO and founder of PCDN Global. This will open up opportunities for professionals but will likely also mean more competition for positions, he said.
