Working on the go is the new normal today. We see people working out of their lounges, couches, or at the airport, coffee shops, and where not. The paradigm shift in work culture across the globe has been fast-forwarded by natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, cyclones, or health issues that have been affecting regular work from an office, especially in the past few years. According to the projections of the third annual “Future of Workforce” report by UpWork, the most popular freelancing platform, 73% of all the teams will be made of the remote workforce by 2028.
Like all other fields of work, the flexibility of working in terms of workplace and hours has crept into the very soul of legal practices too. Gone are the days where work was limited to desks and chairs or the courtroom for legal professionals. We now boost a work culture where the teams sit across cities and offices and are yet connected to the core. And all these have been made possible by using technology. The trend has been predominantly high in countries like the USA, UK, and other majorly technologically advanced nations.
Let us look at the perks of embracing a flexible work culture:
- Embracing a flexible workforce and work culture leads to attaining a more agile, versatile, and engaged workforce.
- It also ensures that people located geographically far away get the chance to work with stellar teams and contribute to the success of the organization.
- Flexible work culture also contributes towards filling up the gender parity in the workforce. This enables even those women who had to take a career break due to personal reasons to get back to work.
- Studies have recorded that more and more working professionals, including legal professionals, are keen on embracing a flexible work culture.
- Remote working facilitates working from anywhere anytime and also helps in reducing the stress of commuting and utilizing time optimally.
For the numerous benefits that can already be seen, working on the go is the new normal. More organizations and leaders are vouching for a flexible work culture at the global level. Now let us see how can working on the go be a real practice with the help of technology.
