What will the workplaces of 2021 and beyond look like? Experts have warned about Canada’s digital skills gap for almost a decade. Now, COVID has accelerated the urgency to re-evaluate the future of work. Finding ways to boost Canada’s post-pandemic economic recovery will come down in large part to embracing more technology.
“Advances in technology like cloud, data and artificial intelligence are transforming the world’s economies, changing labour market needs, and reshaping how people work and what the workforce looks like,” says Kevin Peesker, president of Microsoft Canada.
2020 has been quite the year.
The COVID-19 pandemic has generated an unprecedented level of online activity, as millions of Canadians work and study remotely, using digital tools to stay connected with family, friends, and colleagues.
At Microsoft, we are working to do our part by ensuring the safety of our employees. We are striving to protect the health and well-being of the communities in which we operate. And we are providing technology, solutions, tips, and resources to help people work and learn remotely while they stay safe and connected.
