REMOTE WORK IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC: NEEDS AND POSSIBILITIES

In 2020 there was the impact of a pandemic that changed the routine of many countries, including Brazil, causing most governments to decide to implement measures of social isolation. As a result, only essential services remained in place (sectors such as health, transport, food). Thus, for many areas it was necessary to adopt the Home Office. The objective of this work is to raise general aspects about the new professional routines and seek information on factors that facilitate the adaptation process to the Home Office modality. An exploratory, quantitative research was carried out through a questionnaire with closed questions. As a result, it was possible to validate the investment in employee training to meet current needs. Faced with uncertain scenarios, this study can help organizations of any nature in situations of need for continuous isolation and social distancing, in order to reduce the problems faced during the pandemic.
