It's already a mandated option in Italy; there are a large number of jobs that can be done with a little adjustment from home.

On the other hand, some jobs (e.g: lawyer reviewing some documents together?) require some tech that it's not there since there was not a necessity. I wonder if some startups targeting specific niches like that will rise.

I think OP’s question is for non pandemic periods (or maybe I misread it ?)

Is it mandatory in Italy in « normal » times ?

I think that would be great !

Sorry, I misread the context; sadly no, it's not in normal times, but it's surely growing in different companies.

Thanks for the clarification.
