COVID-19 Is Redefining Our Concept of Work

The COVID-19 crisis has dramatically impacted the way that we perform our jobs. With shelter-in-place orders and social distancing guidelines in effect, many of us who have the option to work from home are doing so. While some companies have previously offered work-from-home opportunities to their employees, the pandemic has dramatically increased the numbers of remote workers. This week, University of Minnesota McKnight Endowed Presidential Chair in Sociology Phyllis Moen discusses the challenges of working remotely in the era of COVID-19 and the ways our workplaces may change going forward.
