The coronavirus pandemic has sped up a transition into more flexible and diverse working hours around the world, opening up ways of working that were unthinkable just a few years ago. “The traditional model of how we work has been broken,” Meghana Reddy, vice president of video messaging service Loom, told the Reuters Next conference. Loom has moved to a flexible model where employees may or may not come to the office and even move to live in other places without being penalised for doing so.
