COVID-19 has changed the way we live and work in the longterm. For some, the long periods of time spent stuck in doors zapped their productivity levels and mental health, leaving them with no energy to work or create. For those with jobs that could work from home, they were left with a host of new challenges to overcome while also trying to do an honest, productive day's work. Time is perhaps the most valuable commodity in business, and, as a society, we're obsessed with doing the most in as little time as possible. We equate being productive at work with being successful.

With a changing workforce, the enterprise workspace is also undergoing a distinct change, aided by the HR technology available today. Trends such as mobility, flexibility, and cognitive computing are forcing organizations to rethink the ways of workplace management. Not only are HRMS changing talent management practices, but they are also helping revolutionize organizational designs. New office ergonomics and new policies and practices are sweeping across the modern organization. The boundaries between HR and technology are blurring, and innovative means for workforce management (WFM) are taking to the mainstream.
