Topic
Before we decided on a topic, we conducted research on various subjects, including “AI and our future”, “Too much meat - Alternative proteins”, “Migrants as cheap labour” and “Remote work - digitization”.
Ultimately, we settled on the topic of "Remote work - digitization." Given the significance of this topic in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing globalization, we aimed to provide an overview of its key aspects.

Research
During our research, we focused on the general topic of "Remote work" and specifically looked for data and information regarding the digitization of remote work in Europe. Additionally, we explored subtopics such as the impact of remote work on mental health, the emergence of remote work during the pandemic, and the broader societal implications of remote work.

The corona crisis had an impact on the way of working in the manufacturing sector even after the crisis.
Remote working has had a positive impact on the industry. It has allowed companies to increase their productivity and efficiency by allowing employees to work from home or other remote locations. Remote working has also enabled companies to reduce their overhead costs, as they no longer need to pay for office space and associated expenses. Remote working has also enabled companies to tap into a larger talent pool from all over the world, allowing them to find the best talent for their projects.
In emerging economies, most employment is in physically demanding sectors like agriculture and manufacturing. This limits the potential for remote work, which ranges from 12 to 26 percent in the economies we studied. For example, in India, the workforce can only spend 12 percent of their time working remotely while maintaining effectiveness. Despite India's reputation for high-tech and financial services, the majority of its 464 million workforce is engaged in sectors like retail and agriculture that are not conducive to remote work.

Remote working has had a significant impact on society. It has enabled people to work from home, which has provided flexibility and convenience for many workers. This has made it easier for people to balance their work and personal life. It has also increased the availability of jobs outside of traditional office settings, allowing more individuals to work remotely. Additionally, remote working has helped to reduce transportation costs and carbon footprints, leading to a more sustainable environment.

Concept
What is it all about?
This is a website is an overview of remote work in Europe and how it can affect individuals lives and well-beings.
What specifically makes this topic interesting for you as a task?
The topic is relevant, has changed a lot in the recent years, and will probably continue to change. It has a great impact on both society and individual lives. The sources we have found are hard to understand, so there is room for improvement to make the topic feel relevant and relatable to the general public.
What types of media do already exist? Is there enough room for improvement?
We have sources from the European parliament and McKinsley & company (for example). These are statistics or complex articles and studies. Therefore, we want to make a website that is easy to skim through with visuals that are relatable for the target group.
What content will be communicated (visual mapping)?
There is a landing page with a hard fact to hook people in. The story will be told in a “choose your character” type of way. To see the introduction of the characters the user will scroll down on the page, through other information linked to remote work. The user will learn more about the characters by clicking on them on the landing page. Hence, “choosing the character”. There are three subpages, one for each character. On a characters page, you will learn more about their day-to-day situation connected to remote work. They will be in different situations, and the stories are based on data from the research material. The “facts” will be both positive and negative. This way, the user can experience and learn more about different types of remote work, and how it affects an individuals well-being. There will also be one "Summary" subpage with additional info and one "About Project".
Target groups: Who is the communication aimed at?
The target group is people who wants to learn more about remote work. This can for example be someone who wants to take the first step or changing careers, and want to know if remote work is relevant for them and their lifestyle.
What is the expected scope of the project? Which areas can be covered?
We will cover full remote work from home, a hybrid solution from a company’s perspective and a full remote digital nomad through the character pages. On the main page, there will be information regarding the general theme of remote work, and on the "Summary" page there will be more about the future and impact on cities and economies.

User Journey
We decided to introduce the website's topic with a "hard fact", that catch the users interest. Then there should be some general information and data about remote work.
After that the user can explore different types of work models through character stories: “The remote worker”, “The nomad” and “The hybrid”.
First we thought about telling a story about each workers. In the end we decided to add the character, which should lead the user through the story, but not include that much detail about each character story.
The quiz after the "Choose your character" section is an interactive part of the website where the user can test their knowledge of remote work. This is then followed up by four drop down lists where the user can check which character or work model that fits best with their values and interests.
The "Summary" page sums up the topic, while also bringing up other aspects like the future of remote work, urban economies and infrastructure.
