Workplace + work + workers. It was a time-tested formula that drove economies over hundreds of years.
As a result of the pandemic, those components of economic activity are being realigned. The specific order of priority is undergoing a sea change. Technology is one of the biggest drivers of change while the workers’ mind is relooking at the opportunity. Remote working for an extended period has caused the workers’ collective mindset towards the workplace change for good.

Technology is expected to play the biggest role in the change. EdTech companies are driving the pace of change, which could be further accelerated.
