Mexico. The company Dimension Data published a study according to which in the future most companies will work with offices without walls and remotely. "The office is no longer going to be a physical space delimited by walls. The office is starting to be a diffuse barrier between personal and work life," says Daniel Villavicencio, the company's business services manager.
Similarly, the physical spaces will be characterized by having open-plan offices, without walls and with several connected modules that allow interaction between employees. This new format will be a reality for 90 percent of companies within the next four to five years, according to data collected by Dimension Data.
Villavicencio pointed out that "what is happening is that employees prefer to work from home, because perhaps at home they have many tools that they cannot access at work. They are putting pressure on their companies to give that flexibility and that openness to new innovation channels beyond a phone and an email."
He added that "what we're going to see will be a lot of devices that will start interacting in their work. They can be from cameras, a wearable, a smartphone, among many others."
Finally, the company's spokesperson said that Mexico is among the three countries with the highest adoption of this scheme in Latin America, with Brazil and Argentina being the leaders in the region.
