Pyjamas, a laptop and a comfortable couch at home. That's today's work environment for millions of people around the world.
It was a far-fetched dream until the pandemic made it a reality. Companies have been forced to embrace remote working to limit the spread of covid-19.
But that's if the job doesn't require you to be there in person. For those who can - working from home could become permanent.
Twitter is going to give that option to workers who wish to do so.
Other firms are working out how to reopen offices while maintaining social distancing.
The way we work is being revisualised - even into the future.
And post-pandemic offices might look radically different than those of today.
So, will employees ever return to the pre-pandemic office environment, or has a new era dawned?
And what would it take to adopt remote working for the long term?

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst The Pandemic is giving us a chance to change the way many companies work, not just from an office, but at home, or even better, at any place, provided there is a good connection. And we believe at the end there will be a new way of doing this: a time for physical work where creativity and connections are made, and digital work where collaboration and team work will be also very important. Those companies doing this now will produce and create more. Offices will change, transportation will change. However we must save what makes us human, the social physical interaction, even if working mostly digital.
