As we enter the tenth month of the global pandemic, and the beginning of a new year, I\u2019ve had time to reflect on the enormous challenges we\u2019ve recently faced in the world of work<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past many months have supplied unprecedented hardships across the globe. We\u2019ve been faced with the loss of loved ones, struggling economies, and dramatic changes to the way we live. Yet, through all of it, there have been glimpses of triumph from our collective human spirit. Across industries, we have been adapting, pushing ourselves to evolve, and finding new solutions for the great challenges we face\u2014most inspiring among them, of course, a COVID-19 vaccine developed in rapid time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, we\u2019re not quite out of the woods. As many around the globe wait to receive the vaccine, we\u2019ve seen new lockdowns and work from home orders. People often ask me what I think the future holds for WeWork in this environment. The honest truth is, I\u2019ve never been more invigorated or excited. The pandemic has taught us an important lesson about the world of work. What was \u201cnormal\u201d before was not <\/em>working\u2014it was not actually optimal for employers or <\/em>employees. WeWork has the opportunity right now<\/em> to reimagine the future of work<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n
