What is the best workplace model for a post-pandemic world?

“This idea of quiet quitting could be considered a subset of the ‘great resignation’ as this concept speaks to that ongoing trend that has come out of COVID. Individuals are re-evaluating their priorities and their work is front and centre of that re-evaluation for the first time in many years. Many things have changed, and there is a greater desire for flexibility, putting more boundaries between work and life, and shifting the mindset from living to work to working to live,” said Berry.

But for one company, the move to full-time remote has meant nothing but good results.

Givex has decided to have its more than 300 employees work remotely full time, instead of going to one of its offices in Canada, the U.S., Brazil, Mexico, U.K., Switzerland, Hong Kong, China and Singapore.

“Even though the pandemic was awful, we managed to get a lot done… we were able to make some acquisitions, we were able to raise funds, we were able to go public, we are able to open up another office, we moved data centres, we did all kinds of stuff during the pandemic. So, we didn’t miss a beat. As a matter of fact, I think productivity improved during that period of time,” said Don Gray, CEO,.

The company reversed its former ways and has now become fully flexible with how work is completed.
