Abstract Details

2021, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
The Covid-19 global pandemic in 2020, has tested companies to their limits. They have pursued new techniques in the industry through sending employees home for long periods of time. They have had to continue their everyday working lives at home during the pandemic. Overall efforts to create this new normal of working have been successful. The new normal of working from home will continue past the end of the pandemic, and will remain a new requirement in every working environment. Working from home has created more convenience, cost savings, and satisfaction for employees. Americans will permanently shift their jobs to inside their homes and we will see the city centers beginning to disperse. Office buildings will become vacant and families will be able to spend more time together. As the shift in culture continues America will see an increase in close knit communities because of social isolation from lack of workplace interaction. These communities will be formed through personal connection and focus on the prosperity of the community, instead of being based on company office location. Working from home is the new normal for employees across America and it will change the future outlook on work-home life.
