While you sip coffee slouching on a bean bag in your living room, your virtual avatar walks up to your colleague to discuss the latest project report. Welcome to the multiverse of work, for work.
As Covid-19 disrupted ways we live and work, it has permanently altered reality and expectations. Most of us do not want to go back to the pre-pandemic normal.
In a study by Owl Labs, 74% of workers say that having a remote work opportunity would make them less likely to leave a company. 69% of millennials would give up on certain work benefits for a more flexible working space.
The growing affinity for remote work has made borders and distances non-existent. You could share your screen, voice and video with a co-worker working from her home in the next lane or next continent. The multiverse for work is taking this to a different level – why not walk up to your colleague, to the meeting room, to the break room.
As you can’t literally while working from your living room or a beach, it’s the virtual you in the metaverse that mirrors what you would have done in a real office.
Its work gamified. While some may question the need and even mock, this indeed is an interesting twist and start to the future of work.
