Abstract

Work experience is becoming an increasingly important part of human capital, so in this lifelong learning, organisations must encourage employees to perform better by providing career opportunities and multidimensional mobility. The shock effect caused by the pandemic and the changed circumstances had a noticeable impact on the organisations, which reacted to the changed environment sometimes with resistance and sometimes with adaptation (for example, collective learning and flexibility), the result of which were the various productive and innovative responses of the organisation to the changes (Spicer, 2020). As a result of the epidemic, millions of employees switched from one day to remote work, which has become a globally recognised form of work and the subject of research. Such a dynamic change in the digital transition has significantly impacted the workplace environment and learning and has changed attitudes about work, employment and workplace learning.
