Utilization of new technologies is expected to be the focus of developments in the workplace.

In the last 2 years, the coronary pandemic has changed our lives dramatically. From the way we work, the way we communicate, the way we balance between professional obligations and personal time, to the way we we are looking for our next professional step. If there is one thing we have learned all this time, it is that the next big change in our lives is only a matter of time and that nothing remains constant in today’s volatile environment.

In this fluid regime, the utilization of new technologies is expected to be the focus of developments in the workplace. On the one hand, the prospect of boosting productivity and on the other, the fear of losing jobs, make the proper use of new technologies necessary. In this context, the concept of metaverse and its impact on the world of work, is the next big bet for employers and employees. But what is metaverse?

The metaverse is one digital virtual world network where participants interact with each other, as in normal life, but feel like they are in a video game or digital world. This is essentially one virtual reality internet. As a term, metaverse became widely known in October 2021 when the founder and major shareholder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerbergannounced the renaming of his company to Meta and emerged as his big goal to build metaverse.

The biggest change that will result from the spread of metaverse and the use of virtual reality technologies is that professions that previously required a physical presence to be performed – such as customer service – will now be remotely performed.
