Life as we know it is changing in unprecedented ways. 2020 brought major shifts in the ways we work and socialise. For many of us, work is no longer a physical place we go to, and interactions that used to take place in person are being rapidly digitized. Human connections are more difficult than ever to establish and maintain and the boundaries between our personal lives and our work are fading away.
Some are enjoying more flexibility they gained since they started working from home, and for some, it's become even harder to maintain the balance of their professional and personal responsibilities.
According to the research done by Google about 54% of parents said it's been difficult for them to balance household demand with working from home and about 60% of office workers feel less connected to their colleagues since starting to work from home. These are unique challenges, and Google steps in to help.
Google has spent decades building products that are simple, easy to learn and anticipate users’ needs. Over 2.6 billion users choose Google productivity apps every month.
The new Google Workspace suite of tools embodies the vision for a future where work is more flexible, time is more precious, and human connections get stronger despite the physical distance. They combined all the apps you know and love like Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, (and many more) in one place. They made them even better, more interconnected and more effective to help you thrive in this new, digital work environment.
Google Workspace has been designed to meet the needs of modern, digital workers. It enables flexible, fluid, and fast collaboration—when, where, and how you need it.

"People's journey to adopting changes is challenging and some employees didn't want to participate in it at all. Paradoxically, even the IT department was not on board with it at first, even though they use Google services in their private lives extensively. In the end, however, we managed to explain everything and I think that the bet on Revolgy and their change management paid off. It was also important for us that Revolgy can not only deliver a service/product but also inspire the entire company for the solution. ”
