Every organization faces the challenge of competing in the digital economy. An increasingly dynamic environment requires more flexible and resilient organizations. The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic revolutionized dormant concepts and standards, requiring innovative approaches to bring forth new scenarios. Redesigning the work environment is an issue that cuts across both academic and practical levels and involves reorganizing traditional business models.
This book explores the potential of different approaches to work organization and proposes solutions to improve collaboration and efficiency in the work environment, while enabling a better balance between personal and professional life. The book includes an analysis of the public sector. By illuminating advantages and disadvantages, the research results contribute to discussion in the public organizations field, with the aim of proposing new strategic paradigms for sustainable and resilient future work environments.
