Chapter 14 – The Online Workplace<\/h1>\n\n\n

The online workplace is constantly changing to meet the demands of a post-pandemic competitive business landscape and technology is driving this change. All manner of commercial and human transactions can now be conducted online through omnichannel communication. There is no need to speak to an individual or interact with a traditional organisation such as a shop, a bank, or an agency. Corporations will continue to seek globalised efficient solutions with diverse teams. The workplace today is different, as workers have had to adapt to the constant challenge of change, and flexible remote working may remain the norm in a post-pandemic world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chapter will outline the emerging challenges that technology poses to organisations, particularly in the workplace. It will address the transition to new working environments that embrace new technologies. The aim is to explore issues of working in a virtual environment, working with virtual teams, and team dynamics. The challenges and opportunities that technology poses will be explored and the future scope of work will be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
